It's more likely we'll see a base MacBook or 13" Pro for $100 off than any meaningful discounts on the MacBook Air. It's selling well and was just released.
Last year, when the iMacs had just come out (and were selling like hot cakes too), Apple had discounted them. The discount was basically equivalent to the EDU discount, but if you already had access to the EDU discount, then there was no real difference (since the two wouldn't stack).
I would expect a $50 discount on the air on BF.
My rewards credit card is offering 8 points per dollar at the Apple Store for the whole BF weekend so I'll be waiting until then to buy my MBA. I am still trying to figure out if I can apply my government discount to that purchase, or if it will have to be made through a separate Apple store specifically for my credit card.
If I can somehow get government discount + BF discount + 8 points/$ I would be a very happy camper.![]()
U can't be this dumb.
Don't count on it. The Government discount is the same as the EDU discount and they don't stack with the BF discount. Also if your credit card has a special Apple site, its probably an EPP site which offers a better discount than the BF/EDU anyways.
I didn't read the whole thread, but if anyone hasn't seen it before, MacRumors has tracked Apple's Black Friday discounts going back to 2002:
