A couple of Apple Authorized Resellers last week combined to kick off a pair of promotions that offer AppleInsider readers special incremental discounts on their already reduced MacBook and MacBook Pro prices through the end of the month.
MacBooks
For example, MacMall is offering an additional 3% off its discount pricing on all current generation MacBooks when using coupon code APPINSDRMWB17065. The code can be entered manually at checkout or applied instantly by clicking through this link or the linked coupon code itself. The added 3% discount will reflect during the checkout process next to the line "Instant Discount(s)."
The added savings, when combined with the reseller's discount prices and rebates, brings the cost of the1.2GHz white MacBook down to $910.83 ($88.17 savings), the 2.0GHz unibody MacBook down to $1,163.99 ($135.01 savings), and the 2.4GHz unibody MacBook down to $1,454.02 ($144.98 savings).
MacBook Pros
Similarly, ClubMac is offering an additional 3% off its discount pricing on all current generation MacBook Pros when using coupon code APPINSDRCWB02822. Again, the code can be entered manually at checkout or applied instantly by clicking through this link or the linked coupon code itself. The added 3% discount will reflect during the checkout process next to the line "Instant Discount(s)."
The added savings, when combined with the reseller's discount prices and rebates, brings the cost of the 2.4GHz unibody 15-inch MacBook Pro down to $1,811.95 ($187.05 savings), the 2.53GHz unibody 15-inch MacBook Pro down to $2,312.45 ($186.55 savings), and the new 2.66GHz unibody 17-inch MacBook Pro down to $2,560.79 ($238.21 savings).
AppleInsider's Mac Price Guide
The lowest prices on Macs from MacMall, ClubMac, and other Apple authorized resellers can be found and compared on AppleInsider's Mac Price Guide, which is updated every weekday. A copy of today's pricing matrix follows.
The best prices are highlighted in bold. The "Discount" column to the far right reflects the amount of savings between Apple's retail price and the lowest price offered on January 20th for that respective model through the company's authorized resellers. The final price factors in any rebates or instant discounts that may be offered by the resellers. Each price is a link that will take you to the reseller's product page for that specific Mac model.
(The additional 3% discounts for AI readers are in addition to the prices for MacBooks and MacBook Pros seen in the matrix, though the prices with those added discounts are mentioned in the article text above).
