Buyer's Guide: Significant Discounts on New 17" MacBook Pros, Other Macs

Monday January 19, 2009 4:11 pm PST by Arnold Kim
Our affiliate partner MacMall is offering discounts across all of Apple's Macs this week. While this alone is not generally newsworthy, MacMall is also offering MacRumors readers an additional 3% off MacBook Pros in addition to the current sales prices. This discount applies to the just-released unibody 17" MacBook Pro as well as the existing 15" models.

The most significant combined discount brings the price of the entry level 15" MacBook Pro (unibody) down to $1742.99 (from $1999 retail). Meanwhile, the brand-new 17" MacBook Pro (unibody) can be had for $2610.18 (from $2799 retail).

No, you only can get an educational discount at the Apple Store, either retail or online.

If you're eligible for an educational discount, this deal isn't really attractive.

Yup, I just purchased the MBP 2.5GHz 250GB w/printer for $.01 from SF State for $1522 OTD, and I couldn't find that model at MacMall. Though the new MBP 2.4 is listed at $1899 Apple Store EDU discount, w/o rebates $2066 OTD, seems attractive at the MacMall price (just a bunch of rebates for extras and a $100 mail-in rebate)...

(For some weird reason the EDU discount on the MBP (unibody) is only $100)
