For those who missed out on JB-Hifi's deal last night. Here's one that will last till Sunday and you can price match at Apple. =]

Prices are marginally more expensive than JB but it shouldn't matter.

Note to Mods - Tried to upload URL to DSE but it comes up saying it's a dupe of what I've posted earlier which was the same sale a few months back. Any way to get around this properly? I had to upload a snapshot of the webpage instead and hence couldn't direct link to DSE.com.au

    I wouldn't mind owning 10% of Apple.

      LOL, my bad.

    Hmmmm… $900 for the cheapest MacBook Air + a further 5% off with my staff discount brings it to $854.

    Nice price when Apple sells them for $1099.

    EDIT: Seems thats the old one actually. The new one is $989.

      Yeah when looking at the listing, make sure to look for the MacBook Airs that have the new Lion wallpaper on it, the Andromeda.

      • bigosmallo on 28/07/2011 - 14:41

        Yeah I realised that a little while after. Thanks for the clarification though.

    • hakiu on 28/07/2011 - 14:43

      any chance can I get 5% staff discount ? I am really into new macbook air :-)

    • myclock on 28/07/2011 - 14:53

      Still a good price I reckon. Kinda of kicking myself when I didn't buy it for the staff 20% off mac a few months back :(

      • bigosmallo on 28/07/2011 - 16:01

        20% off for staff? When was that?

        • myclock on 28/07/2011 - 16:56

          Yeah, only for staff. 20% off all mac range. It was about two months ago.

        • bigosmallo on 28/07/2011 - 17:06

          Damnnn… I wish I knew about that.

        • cheng2008 on 29/07/2011 - 01:34

          it was only for 4 models i think out of all of them, none were what i wanted so i skipped. these new macbook airs might just do the trick for me.

  • Twisty on 28/07/2011 - 14:40

    Do DSE sell a iMac with i7 and 2GB Video Card?

    • ekwj on 28/07/2011 - 14:45

      That isn't listed as one of the retail available models on Apple's website and it mentions the 2GB as an upgrade so it would count as a BTO machine and therefore excluded from this sale.

      As always, best to give your local DSE a call because they may have them in store?

  • PainToad on 28/07/2011 - 14:43

    off*

  • mech4bg on 28/07/2011 - 14:45

    I really want to get one of the new Macbook Airs, but going overseas soon so I want to wait until then to get the GST back, be nice to get ~20% off rather than 10%. How often do these deals come around? Seems relatively often.

  • Wally on 28/07/2011 - 15:00

    Make sure you get the latest upgraded i5 intel spec - those dual cores are so last decade~!

      aren't the i5 also dual cores?

      • zzyss on 28/07/2011 - 15:36
        +2

        I think he meant "Core2Duo"

        • Wally on 28/07/2011 - 15:48

          Yep hehe Correct - that old Core2Duo tech terminology has been archived in my vocab matrix

  • scynaz on 28/07/2011 - 15:44

    The imac i5s are quad core, the ones in macbooks and mac mini are dual core.

    • Wally on 28/07/2011 - 15:50

      Thanks for clarifying!

    Picked an Air up from JB last night - loving it. Small enough to take to uni and be comfortable on lecture room desks, speedy enough for actual work, and a battery that goes all day :D

    Not that I'm a fanboy or anything..

    If you know of anybody in the US, You can get MACbook Air Refurbs for 749.95 from the US apple site. Not bad at around $680ish AUD

    No better timing for me. Was going to buy the base 2.3ghz MacMini on Saturday and was I happy to see this sale.

    As no DSE in WA stock these, I went to the Apple Store and they gladly price matched. In the end, I splashed another $110 than I would have on Sat, but for that I got the 2.5 4gb model with dedicated graphics card.

    Nice on OzB!

    • ekwj on 28/07/2011 - 19:16

      Yeah, i was just checking on DSE to see if they had any accessories for my MBA i got off JB's sale and saw this and noticed it wasn't on OZB.

      The same thing happened last time, was looking for a mac mini on ebay and saw the same ad.

  • Saiya on 28/07/2011 - 18:58

    Awesome discount! Apple EPP pricing is only 8% off the air, with this its even better!

    Just got the i5 13" Air, $1449 * 0.9 (Sale) * 0.95 (Staff Discount) = $1238.90 (Bargain)

      • hakiu on 02/08/2011 - 07:08

        Thank u "heat seeker" :-). I already bought one from DSE with 3.5% money back. Not good as staff discount but better than nothing! Was going to apply job from woolies but considered this offer was only lasting for two days so gave up eventually lol

  • Trance N Dance on 28/07/2011 - 20:19

    Which generation i5 are they using for the new air?
    Shame they made it heavier :( (by 20-40grams LOL, still that's 3.4% increase on the 11")
    At least they kept the 13" 16:10

    There's also no need to say "I would think" in the title as it does exclude BTO and iPads.

  • Hirokuro on 28/07/2011 - 21:49

    Hmm… Not too sure if I should buy a Macbook Pro 13" now or wait until mid 2012 (when I really need it).
    Hopefully they don't remove the optical drive in the refresh of macbook pro's early next year :(.

  • qhrizteens on 29/07/2011 - 08:24

    Hi The Flock, how do you get that price from? I am looking to get the 13" MBA too. from the previous JB sales, someone posted that he had it for 1280 too. So just wandering where do you get it and how does the staff discout be used.
    THanks

    • TheFlock on 29/07/2011 - 09:51

      You just use the staff discount card at the register…

  • phuzz on 29/07/2011 - 10:27

    Dick Smith didn't have stock of the 13" MBA 128GB Anywhere, and it was on backorder this morning.

    Ended up just driving to Apple Store - Chadstone.

    Straight up price matched for $1304.10 and had it in my hands within minutes. Winner :)

    • Sharp on 29/07/2011 - 17:12

      Did you get your free printer at the Apple Store too?

      • Saiya on 29/07/2011 - 18:17

        Do you have a link for that? Looking at the Apple store it shows that the printer is $130 cash off? Is that what you mean? Is that the rebate or do they give you the money right away?

        • zzyss on 30/07/2011 - 09:29

          It's a rebate. I takes several weeks to get it too… can't remember exactly how long, but it was pretty epic, making me think they'd forgotten about it.

          I'm biased against HP and their horrifically bad drivers. I have been burnt where I had to pay for drivers for the latest windows release.

        Nice thanks for that guys.

  • brett-au on 30/07/2011 - 18:44

    Typing this from my new MBA 11" 128gb. I'm heading overseas soon and with the GST refund, its cheaper (almost) than buying in the US.
