Does anyone know if Apple will be offering any good deals on the new MacBook this Friday?
 
In the past the Black Friday deals on iMacs and MacBooks has been somewhere in the $100 to 10% range. Apple traditionally has a them. One year it was $101 off or $111 off making things $1,788 instead of $1,899. Other years I think they have gone with the percentage route. I would expect to save $100-200 off a MacBook or MacBook Pro this Friday.
 
Yup what roland said. Basically, it's almost like getting the item tax free.
 
Apple stores in the US are already price matching the $100-$150 off that Best Buy is offering in stores. Just take in a printout of the web site showing the price, and stock of your local store and they will match it. If you need one, Get them now before the masses get all the stock on Friday. They won't be lower than that on Friday.
 
Funny thing for me is I am always a really smart shopper and use the web to find great deals on higher end products and components. I don't buy cheap stuff, I just get the best price I can. With Apple that usually means going Amazon or something because there is no tax. However, every Mac I have ever bought has been a BTO (build to order), so I went through Apple because MacMall and Amazon usually don't offer those options. And I don't mind buying direct from Apple though it does make an expensive computer cost a bit more. Ironically when I bought MacBook recently I went with a stock model figuring I could upgrade the RAM later and HDD if I ever needed to, but instead of waiting on deals and such, or saving tax online, I got it at an Apple Store, which was nice being able to take it home and open it right away.
 
I think I'm just going to get one on ebay, and go for the $200 cash back from microsoft.
