Best Buy is having a "preferred customer" sale this weekend.

Deals include $150 discount on laptops over $1,000 and $300 discount on laptops over $2,000. Macs are included.

What are:
And since when is there a MacBook Pro under $2000, and aren't iBook's discontinued?

Thanks for the link though.

Sounds like a really good deal... But I'm sticking with purchasing from Apple from now on... I just love to deal with them directly... or Carbon Computing in KW... I guess Im biased cause they sell ONLY stuff designed for Mac

I have to say i do like dealing with the Apple Store online. My Imac purchase from them was smooth.

I've been hitting the Apple Stores lately for all my stuff, but I do have to put in a good word for Best Buy.

I had a minor problem with my new Rev. A iMac (back in the day). The problem happened right around the time they announced the Rev. B models (significant upgrade).

Instead of holding me to their 15 day return policy, and making take another Rev. A machine that they had in stock, they let me keep the model I had until the new models arrived--about a month past their return policy.

I thought that was pretty decent of them.

What does "preferred customer" mean? Is this sale exclusive to a certain group, or anyone? I checked the in-store times and the sale starts at 6:00pm which is when the stores close on Sundays. So that means they are extending hours for the sale, which could also mean this sale is not open to public.

Anyone know more details?

What shipping company does Apple use?

Depends. If you go for the free shipping you will likely end up with "Sameday right-o-way" or whatever they are called. The seem to be better suited to shipping big boxes for companies than dealing with home consumers. They also seem to sub-contract out the delivery, so you may get different results in different parts of the country. I did not find them very professional when I dealt with them a few months back.

I think if you pay for delivery, they use one of the bigger name carriers. FedEx or Purolator I think. I haven't tried that way.

They were handing out coupons for the sale yesterday when I was in the store... you can probably pick one up today or negotiate a deal today instead of waiting for tonight.
