Waiting for Haswell MBP Mega Thread

[john123]

Sales tax was around $200 for a $3000 system. If the student discount is available today, then I'm essentially getting a system for $200 less than I expected to get.

We'll see if that holds true with the new config options. Don't screw me, Apple.

Consider yourself fortunate. I live in a place where the total sales tax is close to 10%.

How soon before Macmall and Worstbuy start selling the new macbook pro retinas ?

 

[Watabou]

Yes, I know the pricing. My point is that it's not always been "$200." When we've seen price drops in the past, we've also seen that discount trimmed.

That's true. At one point, it was only $100 off. I hope that's not the case today. We shall see.

So you're saying get the option with dGPU?

If you are BTOing and have money to spare? Absolutely! The 750M is a pretty nice chip and a significant improvement over both the previous generation 650M and the Iris Pro in the base model.

So you're saying get the option with dGPU?

Personal preference, really. I'd do some research into it. I myself am anti-dGPU.

My 13 inch rMBP is a keeper until I see an IGZO Broadwell rMBP!

 

[rgarjr]

Just called two apple stores neither have them in stock today (rMBP)

damn you serious, when then?

 

[john123]

John you're being a party pooper. For those that don't have any type of laptop, the new 15" is pretty great.

Sure it's marginal in a few aspects over last gen, but still, for those that don't have anything (like me) the new one is the one I'm getting.

Actually, I'm not trying to be a party pooper at all. Rather, I'm encouraging users to consider closeout deals on the previous models, as they may offer a significantly better value.

And do you dare to complain for such a ridicolously low tax rate?

 

[Millionaire2K]

Indeed, all we gonna see is the iPad 5s, iPad 5c, iPad haswell, iPad mini, iPad micro, iPad retina, iPad classic... It doesn't say otherwise anyways, it's just an iPad event 🙁 and it will be the greatest disappointment in life.

Hahahahahaha!

macmall has always been the best deal for macs

http://appleinsider.com/mac_price_guide/

no sales tax and theres always a 5% off coupon available

 

[mehdiHK]

So how much is gonna be the 15" with NVidia? if the entry price is lower, it means that the "better one" will be the same price of the previous entry price.

what I said just sounds confusing, hopefully someone understood.
thanks !

18% in Quebec

Why wouldn't I? In the U.S., that's pretty much the worst tax rate there is. (Sales tax is comprised of a state general tax and, usually, a local sales tax). If you're trying to make a comment about how the tax rates are higher in other countries, that's apples to oranges, no pun intended.

No mbp for u today

Hahahaha!!!

I think this is just for apple. I live in IL and sales tax in Cook County is 10.25 or something like that. Just bought a Mercedes a month ago and I could have slapped someone.

 

[Millionaire2K]

The only retina on todays event will be iPad 😉

Hahahahaha!!

Good question. Answers in an hour on the Apple Store.

 

[Millionaire2K]

I have the feeling you are right on target..... as this is an Ipad event.

Hahahahahaa!

 

[yokken]

Called 2 stores, no rMBPs in stock. Guess I will be having it shipped...

 

[mehdiHK]

Where is Sir Ive ?!

 

[Domdog31]

damn you serious, when then?

they both said maybe tomorrow or later this week.

 

[dahlblom]

Phil is the good guy, always.

 

[PDFierro]

iPad Air? WTF.
