Any Black Friday deals on iBooks?

[ups^]

I'm really interested in getting a 12" iBook (preferably one of the updated G4 models). Does anybody know if any place will have any on sale on BF?

 

Thanks!

You won't find any lower prices in any of the ads since like nearly all Apple products, they are price-fixed. So the best you can hope for is free stuff with the purchase of one or maybe an un-advertised in-store special.

 

Really, your best bet is probably getting it from Amazon:

 

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002A6YVC (be sure to order through Amazon - not J&R - see menu on right side)

 

for $899.99 after an Amazon-exclusive $100 rebate with free shipping and no tax for most states. I doubt you'll find any better deal on BF for such a new model...

Thanks guys.

 

Looks like I'll be getting one from the Apple Store with a student discount. For some odd reason the same configuration of iBook with a combo drive over a regular CD drive is about $20 cheaper. It's weird, but I'm not going to complain. :)

Congratulations on your purchase and we're happy to be of service.

 

Out of curiosity are you going to pay for this with a VISA, MasterCard or Amex credit card?

I haven't actually purchased it yet. After I'm done buying Christmas gifts, and if/when my brother pays me back the money he owes me for the parts for his Jeep, I'll re-evaluate my financial situation then and decide.

 

If/when I do buy, it will be with my Visa credit card.
