Last month, I explained why now is a good time to buy a new Mac. Well, get your credit card warmed up and your desk cleaned off, because the BEST day to save money on a new Mac is coming up.
With the exception of educational discounts, Apple normally doesn't do sales. However, you will find savings at the Apple Store on Friday, November 27th. The day after Thanksgiving is commonly known within retail as "Black Friday". It's the only day of the year that Apple offers discounts on computers.
This year maybe even more interesting. The Boy Genius Report website reports that there is a strong rumor, based on leaked advertising that Apple will be offering "...up to 25% off all Macs". Black Friday discounts are usually 10% to 15%, making a 25% discount very enticing. Of course, the wording means that there maybe only one model getting the big price cut. Still, 25% off, say, the least expensive MacBook would mean savings of $250, bringing the price of the $999 laptop to just $750.
But, even if the above is just a rumor, there will, without a doubt, be discounts on selected Mac models that you won't see any other time of the year. So, if you can brave the crowds, it may be very well worth your while.
