OMG...Amazon 20% coupon on NEW Macbook Airs

[libskate]

this is ultra scummy, but is it possible to buy the kindle get the deal and then return it?

 

[tech324]

Do you get 20% off on only one item or on your whole order?

Who knows, but I probably wouldn't recommend it. Don't know if Amazon keeps on top of returned kindle SKUs/kindles being unassociated from your Amazon account. Big picture: I just don't think it's worth taking the chance of getting your laptop order canceled prior to it get shipped out due to a kindle return (especially if the Airs are back ordered for 1-2 months).

20% off a single laptop in your cart (I believe). I got some odd error when I was looking at other Airs after having one already loaded in my cart.

e: unsure, maybe someone else can confirm?

Convinced my mom to get the kindle with special offers... She's been wanting one for awhile now anyway. Gonna get the 13" Air for $988 with no tax, and 24 month financing. Couldn't be happier.

I hate to ask...but if anyone happens to have the 20% discount code/coupon - I would greatly appreciate it if you could PM it to me. I'll PayPal you $25 for it....

I'm in the Military overseas and I can't go out and purchase a Kindle...I would have to have it shipped from amazon to my APO Box account and that would cost me an additional $20 or so to do that....

So, if anybody does have a code....would love to use it tonight! $25 via PayPal after I place a successful order.....

Just got the 4gb/256 model for $992! Awesome deal! I wish I could've used it on my macbook pro I got a couple months ago... would've saved 400+ :/

i5, 256. If amazon sold the i7, I would have gotten that one, even though the performance increase isn't very substantial from what I've read. I don't think that amazon sells any i7 Airs.

?

Edit. My bad, says 1.7 but then i5. wonder why they don't have the i7

 

[noogin]

amazon don't sell any custom configurations, the mbp models u cant pick between matte or glossy and so forth

 

[The Catalyst]

I think Amazon only carries the i5 airs. The only way to get the i7 is a BTO through Apple.

A normal kindle is $139 and has no ads(it won't work for this). The special offers kindle is $114 and it is the one that you need if you want this deal.

Actually, the Kindle Special Offers WiFi is $114. The Kindle Special Offers 3G+WiFi is $139.

Just got the 4gb/256 model for $992!

I assume you mean last year's model, or you're wrong on one of the specs, right?

The wifi no Ads kindle is also $139.

 

[Bob Coxner]

What is your plan for the Kindle now? I'm thinking of doing this, but the reason I want the air is for the purpose of the Kindle. I don't really like the idea of the ads either. Are you going to use it? Sell it? Give it to a family member?

The ads only show on the screensaver when you turn it off. No ads inside or in books.

I don't plan on using the Kindle but I'll probably keep it for future deals. Recent ones were for 20% off on HDTVs and 25% off on digital cameras. You can save hundreds of dollars on a single purchase, just like with the current Macbooks deal.

That would work out to $1240, which is Amazon's price on the base 13, which is a 4GB/128GB combination.

This is what I'm thinking of doing. It's a real shame amazon doesn't carry the high res 15"

 

[Bob Coxner]

Is there any way to convert a normal kindle into a special offers kindle? It seems that there are often quite a few good offers on that device.

No.

 

[Bob Coxner]

I know the OP already mentioned this BUT could someone who got the 20% coupon please confirm whether it applies to Laptops ONLY or could one use it for other Amazon products?

I'm looking to pick up an iMac. Got the $100GC from the Air I picked up from BB. Wife also needs a Kindle, so I'd be covering a few bases with this deal.


Thanks

That makes more sense.

I almost panicked.

So it's just the two base 11" (the 2/64 and 4/128) and 13" 4/128 and 4/256 models right now? There are still 2 11" 4/128 models available for immediate shipment to whomever is fastest.

I wish I had a Kindle right now...

I was going to get the i7 from the Apple store since it was a $100 more, but the amount saved on this deal just made the i7 not worth it (for me).


MBA 13" i7, 256gb (Apple store) $1,699.00
Tax 140.16
Total $1,839.16


MBA 13" i5, 256gb (Amazon) $1,275.20
Cost of Kindle $124.48
Shipping (1 day Prime) $3.99
Total $1,403.67

Dollar savings $435.49
Percent Savings 24%

Reported performance
increase of i7 vs i5 on 13" model 7%

From what I've read, the i7 is a substantial boost on the 11" model, though.

Edit: I had my numbers all nicely lined up, but I guess that doesn't translate to the post, or I just don't know how to do it. Oh well.
