It's not THAT rare. Microcenter sometimes discounts Macs as well. Every time I go there, the wife's drooling over the computers in their Mac store (she's a graphic artist by profession)

Bring back Archies, I say!

Gosh, you mean His Jobsiness actually cares if he sells any of his reassuringly expensive kit?

Apple would be foolish indeed to pull their kit from BestBuy. They really NEED the exposure, no matter what the discount.

You should see the local Apple mall store, now I know why they have to charge so much for their kit. Lots of room to wander around between the few displays. And lots of fruity acolytes standing around with looks of boredom and distain on their faces. No doubt dreading having an actual customer come in and disturb their fruity meditations. That's okay, because the few "customers" who wander in are definitely cut from a different cloth.


I was just at Best Buy the other day and they have a nice Apple display, all their laptops and iMacs are there and some discounted like the article states.
I just picked up a discontinued model I always wanted last week from Apple's refurbished area online and saved about $600 over what it cost just a month or so ago. A maxed out Black Macbook. You would never know this was refurbished by Apple, not one blemish full warranty and the battery cycle count was at zero.
