Black Friday sale which will runs from now until midnight P.T. on Friday, November 28th, may not have some great discounts online compare to last year’s MacMall sale. This year, however, MacMall faces stiff competition from BestBuy who is offering a number of $100-$150 instant discounts on Macs. This compares favorably to MacMall which tends to combine both instant discounts and rebates.
When comparing prices, instant discounts were considered better than rebate discounts even if the rebate offered up to $10 greater savings. In general, we tended to favor BestBuy’s instant discounts over MacMall’s combined (instant + rebate) but in the case of the MacBook Pro, MacMall offered equivalent instant discounts to BestBuy as well as sizable rebates.
If you’re an Apple user wan ‘a be you better crack your stack piggy bank until its black or gave love on this season why don’t you pull out a Mac for you love ones.
