I was browsing the forum and didn't see any post about this rebate.
It seems mac connection has the lowest price of the new macbook. ($1224 after rebate)

Amazon has it for $1294, and Apple Store and Mac Mall both charges 8.25% tax here in California.

My question, is this the best deal right now for the new aluminum 2.0 GHz Macbook?

any help is greatly appreciated. :)

I paid $1221 I think with my corporate discount (6%) before tax, so $1224 ain't bad.

Its less at J&R after Live cashback ($1220) but they don't have it in stock yet.
Also, according to resellerratings, Macconnection (which has a poor rating) rebates have serious problems.

Thanks, I will probably order from J&R when the macbook is in stock.

If no tax and they have a stock, it's better than amazon that doesn't have a stock yet, even if rebate is scam.

Does anyone have experience with this Mac Connection? Do they pack Macbook properly like apple.com?
