They do every year. But it sounds like you're a student and you can't usually combine the education and Black Friday discounts.

I won't be out of high school for another 3 years. What kind of discount are we talking on Black Friday (generally speaking)?

 

[frozenice]

Usually 10% or $100. or so. Usually the iMac, the most basic MacBook and the iPod Nano go on sale. I can't remember if the middle priced products go on sale or not and it seems that Apple is very tight-lipped about what is on sale until the day of the sale.

If it's just a $100 and only on specific models, MacMall might be an equally good place to buy the computer and you wouldn't have to wait. They sell the Macs for ~$100 less, albeit with a mail-in rebate which some people don't like but I've never had an issue with.

I think I'm settled I'm waiting until these new Macbooks turn up in the refurbished section of the Apple store.

Since many years back...!

they've offered a small discount for the last few years. Nothing spectacular though. certainly nothing worth staying up for, or queueing for.

You'll probablt get a better deal at a mac reseller on BF than at apple.

Seems you can go up to 6 GB of ram, 8 GB is unstable aparrently. Weird.

Confirmed: New MacBooks Support 6GB RAM

Hey guys,
Actually, Can someone tell me what Apple usually discounts on a brand new model macbook pro when the same model turns up in the refurb store? Is it like $100 or $150?

Macmall sells the 2000 model for 1846 (after $100 rebate) with a printer and parallels that are free after rebate. i figure i could sell those both for at least $100 which together would mean $200 off the computer.

Also, anyone know based on what they've usually done whether they will upgrade before April or May?

I may upgrade sooner than I thought...
