Be careful ordering from bestbuy online. I placed my order 2 hours ago and it's already backordered. :(

i'm planning on going to the actual store.. i believe some NYC stores have gotten shipment already. i'm calling a few now to double check before i head over. hopefully i can get the $100 promo also
 
MacMall also has some decent discounts through their AppleInsider ad. I don't think they have all the models in yet, though.
 
Hopefully amazon matches them. They generally do if enough people notify them of them price difference.
 
I am probably going to go with Amazon to take advantage of the sales tax advantage--and get 2-day prime shipping once they get them in stock.

Better question is, can you buy online (for CB purposes), pick up and request the $100 gc to match Apple's b2s promotion. That would be perfect

to NYC people: Best Buy Chelsea, Union Square, and 45th St have them in limited stock. I got my 11" 4GB 128SSD at the Chelsea one and they had 2 left. got mine with the $60 off and the $100 gift card. happy as a clam right now :)
 
Alright, dumb questions:

1. Best buy has a student discount program?
2. Is there a $100 gift card for buying a i5 macbook air?
3. The i5 macbook air is $1234 on sale already.

So are we looking at $1234- $100 - student discount?

If so, that is a very great deal.

1. No. They match apple's price.
2. Yes.
3. No. You will get it for $1234 + $100 GC

OK, so the price is $1234 + tax. Then they give you a $100 best buy gift card.
Now what is the return policy--I refuse to accept one with a dead pixel. Before I have had problems returning to Best buy for that reason. Are there restocking fees on apple laptops?

I'm sure it says on their website. :rolleyes:
