Yes-sir-eee, here come the new models in March!
Yipeee!!
i hope they do a new case design. its long overdue
maybe they could add blu-ray and a usb 3 port while they're at it or am I dreaming of unicorns?
Apple seem to want to move away from optical media. So I wouldn't be surprised that they'll remove it off the iMacs and Macbook Pros. They've done it with the Mac Minis and somewhat with their other macbook line (Air). Those drives take up a lot of space, so I wouldn't be surprised with such a move.
Macbook Pro was refreshed only October last year… pretty early refresh if that's the case.
if I remember it right, that refresh was just a minor cpu spec bump.
Unlikely. http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Pro

Mid-product cycle
Last ReleaseOctober 24, 2011
Days Since Update108 (Avg = 267)? I was talking about last October's refresh, not the upcoming update.
Sorry meant for the previous poster. I'm saying a updated Macbook is still a few months off.
7PM - 8PM AEDT Time ONLY! wo what will the time be in Adelaide?
DSE are on A.E.S.T.
so click here for the current time in Sydney, N.S.W.
http://swissinfo.net/cgi/worldtime/clock.pl?Sydney,Australia
or add 30 minutes to Australian Central Standard Summer Time when it is 18:30 in Adelaide…(or… when the Big Hand and the Little Hand point to 6) :+)
I think you mean AEDT for Sydney, D is for daylight savings. AEST would be for queensland till daylight saving finishes, then its the rest of the eastern states.
1987?
6:30pm
very good price, but they may likely be getting some new models in. either way awesome price!
Will the new models be that big of a difference? Looking at getting a mac pro for location photography work. wonder if 13" will be big enough
There are rumours of a new design soon if that helps.
I'd be pretty annoyed if a better looking Mac Pro came out shortly after buying this one. I feel like the current Mac Pro design/resolution is pretty dated now so I'll probably wait it out
Still a good deal for this though
Yeah, I'd definitely wait it out.
There will probably be a resolution bump for the 13inch. They are still at 1280x800, while the Airs 13 inch are 1400x900 (or something like it, can't remember the exact number now)
$1049 ish for those with staff discount, definately will try to get one!
$1,063.24 actually
I know nothing about Apple but my girlfriend is a Mac chick. She has had her current laptop for about 2 years and is ready for an upgrade.
Should I buy this or wait for the next one? Just curious if the savings are substantial enough to warrant this purchase now.
Should't wait because Apple never discounts on new products or you will have to wait next year to get a discount on new models
As a general rule, you can quite easily get 10% off Macs either through 1) simply asking, or 2) regular 10% off sales (especially DSE). Its up to you whether waiting for a newer model (and paying around ~$1250ish for it) is worth it.
There's quite a possibility that the newer models (rumoured to be due April-May) may have slight/major redesign (as the current design dates back to October 2008), but will almost-certainly come with Ivy Bridge processors (and better integrated graphics to boot). Its also possible a display upgrade is on the horizon, but who really knows besides Apple? Up to you :)
Thanks for the replies. Will try to lock one in tonight.
"Should I buy this"
No.
She should.
loL!!
disposable
$300 applecare - that's only 30% of the product price! Great deal, especially since slave labour is getting expensive these days.
LOL @ Dick's One hour Quicky on the website.
Apple MacBook pro 13 vs Dell XPS 14z
who wins??
same price at the moment
and less 3% if you are registered via Buckscoop :+)
3.5% if you are with moneybackco ^-^
I am only $30 short of the amount required for this laptop in my bank account. But I transferred another grand into that account but that amount will only be there in the morning..
So wat do?
They were giving the following when you buy before this 1 hour sale:
Sennheiser Stereo Headphones, SanDisk 16GB USB Flash Drive, and $100 iTunes Card valued at $179 when you purchase a Mac!
So not really much of a deal
I beg to differ, this is a much better deal than the $179. The 20% discount will save you $279.80 if you can score one later.
where's this?
anyone know of cheaper places to get office mac?
ebay
ask a student/teacher to get it for you.
otherwise go without office if you can - replace Word with Pages, and Powerpoint with Keynote.
Yes, depending on how big an Office user you are you could substitute it with iWork. 30-day trial available here: http://www.apple.com/iwork/download-trial/
Individual apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) are $20.99 each on the Mac App Store, and are particularly good value if you use a discounted (up to 50% off) iTunes card to purchase them.
ripping full version office 2011 for mac torrent on vuze…it is ozbargain after all…
Uh no… Ozbargain does not condone piracy.
I use the free Open office in Mac all the time.
It is still using the old "Office 97" feel interface which I like very much.
For light use it is good enough. It also output to all sorts of MS format that people work with you can open.
Sennheiser Stereo Headphones, SanDisk 16GB USB Flash Drive, and $100 iTunes Card valued at $179 when you purchase a Mac!
that doesnt apply with the 20% deal though
aww man!!
And it's on sale.
and surprise surprise, it is still available, not quite the best seller that the EOS 550D was last week…
a good price !
I was looking to get a laptop this year, and the macbook pro was my preferred option.
i liked the mac air, but the extra power and connections of the mbpro gave it the edge….
Just ordered one….
It is still going. I think someone forgot to check the time and quantity.
Anyways I grabbed one. I thought I was going to miss out because I could see it on my phone but I couldn't order. I just got home now. yay go me. ^_^
Site will bomb out again for sure!
showing 1400 now
Wonder if WoW will do a similar deal soon…. ;)
Ours arrived toay. That was fast. I'm liking the mac so far. Be aware tho it doesn't come with any discs.
