As we head further into April, deals have begun to dry up a bit. There are still discounts on a few select iPad models, and low prices on the iMac, older MacBook Air, and older MacBook Pro models. Deals on current products like the iPad Air 2 and the iPad mini 3 are unavailable this week, so if you're looking to buy a tablet, you might want to hold off for a bit.
We have several exclusive offers just for MacRumors readers this week, on games from GameAgent and products from Casetify, a site that offers custom iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and Apple Watch accessories. We've also rounded up some great apps you can get on the cheap this week.
iPad Air 2
Best Buy continues to offer the lowest prices we've seen on a single iPad Air 2: the 16GB Cellular iPad Air 2 in silver is available for $499.99, $130 off its regular price.
B&H Photo is offering a small discount on all of its iPad Air 2 models, dropping prices by $30 to $50. With the discount, the 16GB WiFi only iPad Air 2 is priced at $469 and the 64GB model is priced at $569.

This is how I see it -
OP makes a suggestion: Please consider including deals from this store that I like which is in most major cities around the country.
You: Shut up. It doesn't help me so it shouldn't be included at all. Also it sucks.
OP: No, it doesn't suck and, while it would not cover everyone, it would be helpful to a significant percent of the population.
You: You're wrong wrong wrong. It doesn't help me so get outta here. Also here's a bunch of other bogus reasons why it sucks that I'm going to bold.
Who's the immature negative nancy here?
The notice of the sale prices are helpful, but hardly the cheapest.
1) Microcenter is not a mom and pop shop. It actually does millions each year in sales.
2) It has retail and online shopping. You can buy anywhere online last time I checked. Clearly you heard of the Internet since you posted using it.
3) B&H has 1 location. That location is in NYC.
4) MacMall is online only as far as I know, they may have a few retail stores in their home location area.
So again, not sure what world you live in but maybe you should research before you post.
