[MacRumors]

Apple Watch

Amazon is continuing to discount the 40mm GPS Apple Watch Series 6 to $339.00, down from $399.00 in the (Product)RED color option. This is $60 off the original price, but not quite the lowest price we've seen on this model (which has reached to $329 in the past).

Although a few other colors have also reached this low in previous weeks, (Product)RED remains the most consistent to see the deal in 2021. This makes it a great entry price into the Apple Watch family, especially considering the Series 6 is the newest iteration of the Apple Watch.

Deals on the 44mm GPS models remain a bit tougher to find this month. Amazon has these models for $409.00, down from $429.00 in Gold Aluminum and (Product)RED, and that's the best deal online as of now, with a few matching sales at B&H Photo.

M1 MacBook Pro

Also at Amazon, you can get the 256GB M1 13-inch MacBook Pro for $1,218.92, down from $1,299.00 in Space Gray. This notebook has gone down to $1,199.00 in past sales, but as of the past few weeks in January, this sale on Amazon has been the most consistent deal for the M1 MacBook Pro, and it's still a great deal on the newest MacBook Pro.

Likewise, an ongoing sale on the 512GB M1 13-inch MacBook Pro remains at Amazon and B&H Photo, where you can get this notebook for $1,399.00, down from $1,499.00. Amazon only has the Silver option at this price, but B&H Photo is offering both Silver and Space Gray with the $100 off price.

M1 MacBook Air

Moving to the MacBook Air, you can get the M1 model with a 512GB SSD for $1,175.93, down from $1,249.00. At about $73 off, this deal beats the price seen at retailers like Adorama and B&H Photo, and Amazon has the notebook available to ship today.

I love how $80 off a $1300 laptop is considered a "sale."

Somehow I doubt that a difference of only $80 was the key roadblock to somebody buying a new computer.

It is for many people on MR. It's not a matter of not being able to afford. It more a matter of people trying to get the best deal they can get.

Apple is offering $100 off for...
“Available to current and newly accepted college students and their parents, as well as faculty, staff, and homeschool teachers of all grade levels”

I’m a contractor that works on the Yale campus and my ID is pretty generic. It’s a long shot but I’d like to give it a try. I can’t seem to find how you prove the above. I may have to pay the apple store on Broadway (part of New Haven, CT, not NYC) a visit and play dumb. The new Mac air M1 for $899 is very appealing!

Save the $80 and buy the next hot stock. Back in the day that would buy 3 shares of Apple.

$60 discounted from the S6 is decent. That would cover more than enough of the tax, and still Allow some room to purchase an additional band if you want.

Careful with MacBook Air offers: The MBA comes with 7 GPU cores, 256GB for 999 and 8 GPU Cores, 512 GB for 1249. But you can upgrade the 7 core to 512 GB for 1199. So I can easily offer an MBA 512 GB for 1199 without giving you any savings.

Check out if you are getting 7 or 8 GPU cores.

That said, I don’t think that last GPU core is worth 50 to me, so I’d probably go for an upgraded 7 gpu core MBA.

I agree - that isn't much of a discount compared to the overall price. And compared to buying local, the shipping fee might (if you don't get free shipping) balance out the price savings.

But, if you were already planning on buying one, then getting an extra $80 off would be nice. Why pay more than you need to?
