This deal or Haswell rMBP?

[fskywalker]

Any tips on how to actually search for what kind of monitor it is?

Also any other things I should look for?

Is the display Samsung or LG? If you dont know run this script on the terminal mode (look for it on the utilities):

ioreg -lw0 | grep \"EDID\" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6


If it says LP is LG, LSN is Samsung

Good deal but not any better than anyone else could have gotten

BestBuy is currently running a sale on open-box Macs. 15% off and another 5% if you use your BestBuy card. I just picked up an open box 15" MBPr w/ 256gb SSD for $1510 and then used $180 in RewardZone points to bring it down to $1332. Never registered and never used.
From $2200 down to $1332. A whopping savings of over $860

No coupon needed. Just ask at store.

Nice purchase! Is the machine 2012 or 2013? LG or Samsung screen?

Bummer...I went to my local Best Buy and they said there was no additional promo coupon on the open box MacBooks.

Indeed there were no additional deals on open-box items but you can apply for a Best Buy credit card and get an additional 10% off (whether you get approved or not).

Ended up purchasing the machine for $1894 after tax so I definitely can't complain.. Unfortunately it was an LG screen.

If I don't end up wanting it, I'm sure I can flip it for more on CL.
