Picked up a 2014 13" for 700$. Few questions.

What is the sleeve that you ordered? Thanks!

Works perfect for what I need it to do inside my bag:

Is the $100 off still going on at BestBuy? Where can I see that they're doing this promotion? Thanks.

No I don't see it anymore. Think they're like 40-60 off now

They are 5% off now, but if you have a Best Buy card, you wind up getting a great deal yet again.

11": 855 less 150 student discount less 10% is 634.50 plus tax, with 10% rewards on credit card.

13": 950 less 150 student discount less 10% is 720.00 plus tax, with 10% rewards on credit card.

If you can find an open box and they use these coupons, kaching. We just sold a 2 year old 13" base model for 675 and will be buying an open box for 778 less 150 less 10% or 565 dollars before tax and 10% rewards.

Can't beat these deals right now at BB if you work it right.

I am glad I scooped one up in visiting these boards and knowing what was going on. Thanks to everyone here.

Well, they did NOT let us use the coupons with the Open-Box item. I told the guy it was kind of a crock that I can get a brand new one for less than an Open-Box one. He basically just said how not everybody can though (people who aren't eligible for student discount).

Regardless, spent $681 after sales tax. $6 more than we just sold the 2012 13" MBA for. Will also get almost $65 in reward certificates and got 3 user 6 month Kaspersky that I will be selling for $25.

Don't put an ugly case on your beautifully engineered and crafted machine! Just buy a sleeve to pull it in an out of when you need it

This.

I have a cMBP. It's literally un-damagable, and looks so nice without a case. Cloth travel sleeves are great, but what the heck could possibly happen to it while it's stationary?

I got so missed out on this, parents paid full price on my air few days ago and I still haven't unboxed it. Going to get my .edu email from college tomorrow and also haha I moved just exactly a week ago, imma go to usps for coupon and do everything to u did.

Thanks for the info. Also I got 11 inch and thinking on getting a 13 inch now. But will see maybe 256 gb storage on 11 inch is better.

Play with the demo model of both the 11 and 13 inch models. If you are comfortable with the shortness of the 11 inch model's display and portability is important to you, then I'd go that route. It's much more portable than the 13 inch model. However if you are not going for portability, then the 13 is better as a desktop replacement. One is not "better" than the other. It really depends on the individual user. I wouldn't let the storage size dictate which size model you go for. You can always use external storage or a thumb drive or a memory card if your budget is limited. Better to go for screen size preference first, then if you can afford the 256 upgrade, go for it.
