2017 Macbook Pro...

Do you feel... Lucky?

I don't see any $500 deal on the Best Buy site... there are only five models on sale (took the link on the macrumors post)

The most expensive of the 5 have a $350 discount, then add $150 discount if you have a student coupon code. $500 total. Not that great a deal, though. I'd spend the extra and get the new 8th gen models.

For the first time ever, I haven't received the iTunes code in my e-mail within ten minutes. It's been almost an hour and a half since my order was placed. I know the eBay listing says it can take up to 4 hours for the code to arrive, but I've never seen it take longer than 10 minutes. Maybe they were hit by that Azure outage that occurred about the same time I was placing my order.

I ordered two and received both codes, but when I went to Redeem them in itunes they both were rejected as having already been redeemed.

I submitted a support ticket with Paypal but I'm not sure that's the proper place.

Edit: Nevermind. Clicking on a particular link automatically redeemed them in my account and iTunes never showed the updated balance. Later I saw my balance in a different app and it was correct.

Yea, the new quad and 6-core CPUs don’t make going with last year’s models as much as an obvious choice as in past refreshes.

Thanks for the misleading headline MR.
