Best Buy Flash Sale: Save Up to $500 on MacBook, $100 on 2017 iPad, and $40 on Apple Watch S3

Best Buy's refresh of deals this week includes a 24-hour flash sale on Apple products like the 12-inch MacBook, MacBook Pro, fifth-generation iPad from 2017, and Apple Watch Series 3. The biggest savings here are for select models of Apple's 12-inch MacBook from 2017, with prices that can extend to as much as $550 off with Student Deals for the best prices we've ever seen on these models.

Best Buy is again selling a configuration of the MacBook Pro from 2015 in the new flash sale, marking the 15-inch model (2.2 GHz, 16GB RAM, 256GB HD) down to $1,499.99 from $1,999.99. The retailer previously discounted this model by the same amount a few weeks ago.

I really wish Best Buy sold the MacBook models with 16GB RAM. I’d jump all over that at $500 off (additional $50 off if student)

I need to upgrade my better half's S0 AW, tempting to do it now, but birthday is June 6th and WWDC is June 4th.
Series 3 was released on 9/22/17. IMO, they won't announce watch hardware 8.5 months after the last release.

Bestbuy is having these deals every week now. I'm holding out for the 2018 model to see if they've updated the keyboard. I need the new Macbook pro to last me 5-7. Some people with the new Macbook can't go 6 months without keys on their keyboard breaking.

Man, my local Best buy has a MacBook open box for $806 before the educational discount. That is a very good deal. I am not into the dongle life so I am going to pass. Plus, I just bought an Air about a month ago.
