Black Friday Macs: up to $101 off MacBook Airs & iMacs, up to $250 off MacBook Pros [ux2]
By AppleInsider Staff
Published: 01:30 AM EST (10:30 PM PST)
Apple resellers have launched their Black Friday deals, offering savings of up to $101 on Mac Book Airs, $250 of MacBook Pros, $128 on iMacs, $39 on Mac minis and $260 on Mac Pros [updated with price changes].
Update: Best Buy is offering $150 off the 11" MacBook Air 64GB at $849.99. Amazon has rescinded its earlier deals on the 11.6" MacBook Air, 13" MacBook Pro and 21.5" iMac.
As of 12:30am Eastern, Apple had yet to launch its one-day sale in the U.S., but resellers have already initiated sales that will undercut the company's planned discounts.
MacBook Airs
Amazon offered the best deal on the entry level mid-2011 MacBook Air, but changed the price early Friday. MacMall is selling the 1.60 GHz 11" 64GB model for $939.94. For the 128GB 11" model, several retailers offer competitive prices with savings of roughly $60. MacMall has the best deal on the 1.70GHz 13" MacBook Air 128GB at $1,197.99. As for the 256GB 13" model, MacMall, MacConnection and B&H all offer similar bargains on the thin-and-light notebook.
With custom configurations of the MacBook Air, MacConnection is offering the 4GB of RAM 11" 64GB Air for $1,049.99. Meanwhile, MacMall offers savings of up to $74 on other custom configurations of the MacBook Air.

MacBook Pro
Amazon had the lowest price for the 2.4GHz dual 13" MacBook Pro until it raised its prices; MacMall now has the lowest price at $1,097.99. The 2.8GHz dual 13" model is available for around $1,425 from several resellers.
Apple's current-generation quad-core 15" and 17" MacBooks sport savings of up to $199 from multiple resellers as listed in AppleInsider's price guide.
Given that Apple offered only modest improvements, such as slightly faster processors, improved GPUs and larger hard drives, to its MacBook Pros when it quietly updated the lineup late last month, early 2011 MacBook Pro models may be a better value for some customers. MacConnection is selling the early 2011 2.3GHz dual 13" MacBook Pro for nearly $200 off at $999.99.
The early 2011 2.7GHz dual 13" MacBook Pro carries savings of $149 when purchased from MacMall, while the early 2011 2.0GHz quad 15" MacBook Pro model is available for $1,549.99, also from MacMall.
