Introduction of new MacBook Pro styling opens savings window

With the introduction of the brick aluminum body style of the new MacBook Pro, many online retailers are trying to move their old stock. A quick look on MacConnection.com today shows last generation MacBook Pros starting at $1449.95 after rebate. That’s $550 less than MSRP just last week.

A visit over to eBay shows new units available from around $1,300 if you look in the right place. With the 10% off coupon being offered to many eBay users, the deal gets even better. You are allowed to take up to $100 off a purchase with that coupon brining the price to almost $1,200.

The lesson here, if you have been in the market for a new Apple portable then take advantage of these savings while old stock is still available. Just like in the automotive industry, new body styles almost always make for great savings on the past model year. Sure, you won’t look “cutting edge” but you will get a great deal.
