Some Apple resellers are launching their Black Friday sales
early this year, such as Mac Mall, which is offering up to $250 off new
MacBook Pros, up to $149 off new MacBooks, up to $159 off new iMacs,
and up to $179 off MacBook Airs. Amazon has also slashed the price of
Office 2008 for Mac Special Media Edition by $325 (65%).
Mac Mall, which offered deeper discounts than Apple last year, launched its Holiday Blowout sales overnight which includes up to 21% off iPods and up to $1094 off some Macs.
For the most part, the reseller’s Mac deals combine instant discounts
with added mail in rebates. Below, we’ve compiled a list of all current generation
Macs, listing their retail price, MacMall’s final price after rebates,
