I finally have most of my ducks lined up to get the best deals on my Apple product purchases. Will be ordering an iPad through AT&T. $50.00 off the regular retail and then another $100.00 for signing a 2 year data contract (I'd be getting a data contract anyway). $617.68 with tax for the 32 GB AT&T version. Not bad!
Next up is the Mac Mini. Will be getting the 2.3GHz i7 version. $799.00 through Apple and then I have a $45.00 off certificate. $754.00 and no tax because I'd pick it up in an Apple Store that is in a state that doesn't have sales tax. I was going to do the same with the iPad but coordinating that will delay things until one of the stores up there has them in stock. Plus, it's 100 miles each way so I'll live paying the $37.00 in tax. I'll also be getting a Magic Track Pad, monitor (have to pick one soon) and maybe doing some Christmas shopping so it will be worth the trip. Unless... I can find it cheaper somewhere else. Best Buy shows $799.00. It looks like Target used to sell them but they do longer do.
Any other recommendations on where to look?
