Ready to shop with Nico?

I know it's not much, but Apple products have notoriously been kept retail for a long time. If you're looking for a Macbook and want to save $50, then here's your chance. That's as good as the education discount, which has mysteriously halved recently too. What Apple? No love for the college folk? I remember when the MBP discount was $100??

I forgot to mention that the new aluminum MacBook made it's way to our office a few days after it was announced. I was really surprised at how small the box was compared the previous generation. I know, right? The laptop was really COLD right out of the box as well! The build seemed really solid like they claimed. I didn't really have time to go through it extensively but I liked the way it looked and it ran as smooth as any Mac would. They're packing 1067 Mhz DDR3 memory! Holy Cow. Enough talk. Enjoy the pictures!

Wow, the new MacBooks are looking very sweet. I was a bit disappointed with the price points not dropping, but hey I'm definitely doing to pick up one of these sometime next year. I'm just wondering, which one. What do you guys think? That 24" cinema display is pretty sweet, too!

Amazon has really good rebates for select Mac computers. The rebates break down as follows:

$25 on a Mac Mini purchase
$50 on the MacBook Air
$75-$100 on the iMac or Macbook
$150 on the MacBook Pro
$200 on the Mac Pro Desktop

There are already some savings on all these machines, and with the rebates on top of it, these are some of the best prices for Macs on the internet. However, it isn't as good as education as the education discount on college campuses, which means this deal is more for non-students/educators.

These rebates are good for purchases till September 15.

Yes, I know many of you already know this so this is simply a reminder. It's time to go back to school. The summer is nearly over. Dust off your books and brains. Groan.

The Deal: Buy a Mac with an education discount and receive an 8GB iPod Touch or Nano free after a $299 rebate.

>> MacBook starting at $1099.
>> MacBook Pro starting at $1999.
>> MacBook Air starting at $1799.
>> iMac starting at $1199.

Shipping is free on all deals, and this promotion is valid till 9/15. This is a good opportunity to snag a fresh Mac and iPod to boot! I think I'm going to pass this year, maybe take them up next year. Wonder what they'll give for free. 32GB iTouch? Damn!

Hot damn! Scorching hot deals on pre-packaged Apple MacBooks on Amazon. It may not seem as much but discounts on MacBooks are few and far between which makes this a very big deal! You could save up to $190!
