Does Apple ever have sales?

Posted on November 17, 2008 by Alex

Does Apple ever have sales or do I have to shell out $1750 for a Macbook?

I am in love with the new Macbook.  It is so gorgeous.  I have never felt this way about any piece of equipment, let alone about a Mac.  But this feels like true love, a love from first sight.  The moment I saw it on my coworker’s desk, I knew this was it — this could be THE Mac that makes me take the plunge and join the other side.

So, before I take the plunge and drop $1750 on this beauty, what are the chances that Apple will join other retailers in the annual Thanksgiving/Christmas madness and offer 50% as a part of some crazy sale?  Or is Apple truly recession proof?

    Sales? In a word: No. However, you might have some luck with a refurbished unit:

    Rarely have I seen this… but you never know. Most deals, I suspect will be on iPods. Enjoy!

    Whatever you do… get AppleCare.

    best thing to do is wait until they release something cooler and then check the clearance section of their website, it won’t be 50% but you might get 10%-20%

    A Macbook from the clearance section?! I don’t think I can wait THIS long. I think I might succumb to the curse of Black Friday and make way to the closest Apple store at 6 am. Where the hell is the closest Apple store?
