Amen! $1700 for a MBP with only 512GB HD...With all my video content, books, mp3’s, and pics, a terabyte is becoming insufficient!

Tell me what magic country you live in... here in central Europe the entry level 256GB MacBook Air is € 1500 (USD 1645).
 
Well the new Sept 1st tariffs are only for stuff coming through the border today. So that won't be this stuff, not to mention that the administration sidelined smartphones and a few other things till December I think.

Otherwise its labor day and a big sale weekend.

WTF it's Wednesday and the prices are still low.
I'm beginning to think it's all a scam, China is really doing currency manipulation. I can't imagine Apple eating the tariff.
Not that I'm hoping either way, just a casual observer.
