        Yes they will, They just factor in shipping charges which are $0 from Apple in this case.
        Better be quick because I am pretty sure OfficeWorks will drop their price today relatively quickly.

        • snvl on 23/11/2012 - 08:10

          OW didnt price match, they said apple return policy is 14 days and their is more. what a …..

          Officeworks' terms and conditions indicate my comment is correct:

          "You can redeem the Lowest Price Guarantee (LPG) by visiting your local Officeworks store, by fax or phoning in. You can not redeem the LPG via our online store.

        • May4th on 23/11/2012 - 10:05

          yeah that's the same bs response they use when the price cuts on their over-inflated profit margin. by that logic they can refuse any and every deal in Australia because no store has the exact same return policy.

          someone please buy a laptop, use it for 3 years and return it for a full refund? :)

          Officeworks' terms and conditions indicate my comment is correct:

          they mean you can't pricematch from their online store. you can still price-match in-store any deals from online stores, like apple in this case

        • summutha on 23/11/2012 - 10:52

          Looks like Officeworks now at the same price

        • vikingbrad on 23/11/2012 - 11:44

          Tell them Apple have holiday season return policy

          "Items purchased at the Apple Online Store that are received between October 27, 2012 and December 25, 2012, may be returned through January 7, 2013. "

          So actually better than Officeworks

        • Mikinoz on 23/11/2012 - 13:33

          I price matched the keyboard, mouse and trackpad and got 5% off the discounted price on apple website

          They didnt want to do it, so i asked them to show me where it says they wont, guess what they did it no problem.

        • tyler.durden on 23/11/2012 - 18:09

          If officeworks don't need to price match Apple cos of their excuse that it is not the same return period, then why did they lower their prices..

          OW is pretty dodgy and make up any excuses to avoid the LPG.

          Yet this shows that the policy is dodgy cos they just lower their prices.

    • Thespottedcow on 23/11/2012 - 08:38

      Officeworks only price match on EXACT terms,they are saying apples return policy is not the same as theirs so they wont match, try getting them to price match BigW account that worked for me.

      They would only proce match on a 30 day account though.

      @tg i'm curious where you get your coles group gift cards cheap?

      Entertainment book only does coles gift cards (not coles group)

      Sometimes i take the coles gift cards to coles and use them to purchase a handful of groceries and the balance on a coles and myer group gift card, eg take $500 card in buy $25 worth of groceries and a $475 coles and myer group card. But it requires you to find a checkout operator that doesn't care and I only have about a 50% success rate doing this.

    • mo danish on 23/11/2012 - 14:18

      If he bought it directly from Apple, he can return it and get a new one. A lot of hassle though. Also, he might be able to give them a call if it hasn't shipped and see if they will give him a discount. Might be worthwhile suggesting this after having your schadenfreude moment :)

      • Ace on 23/11/2012 - 15:00

        He bought it in-store, would he still be able to take it back?

      for one of the richest companies in the world they give pretty bad discounts.

      They're not one of the richest companies in the world. They are the richest company in the world. They're sitting on over 100 billion in cash reserves, and their market cap is #1 by far.

      But you don't have to give discounts even if you're rich, as long as their customers are willing to pay full price, which it seems they are.

      • muzzamo on 23/11/2012 - 14:50

        their market cap is #1, but not by far. ExonMobil isn't that far off.

        • prisonerzero on 23/11/2012 - 15:02

          They recently overtook ExonMobil.

        • lostn on 24/11/2012 - 02:01

          OK, so they have one rival at their shoulders. But compared to all the tech companies like MS, Google, Samsung, etc, they are far ahead.

  • Geewhizz on 23/11/2012 - 07:27

    No deal on the ipads - BigW has sold them for around this price most of the time (if not all) since it was released.

      you are right for the 16gb, but for the 32gb and 64gb it is 50 off bigW's price.

  • ToBuyOrNotToBuy on 23/11/2012 - 07:38

    I love a discount as much as the next guy, but this is not even 10% discount on the Macbook Pro with Retina Display.

    You will save more if you hang around until JB Hifi do one of their 10% off all Mac Products deals.

    Or just find a student and get them to buy it for you. Student store gives you 10% discount.

    • punk on 23/11/2012 - 07:49

      could you use a student discount on top of this?

      • skinny on 23/11/2012 - 07:56

        I checked - no you cannot.

        On the mac 13", the black friday price is cheaper than student discount

    • ericc on 23/11/2012 - 08:48

      So normally, students get 10% off at any apple store?

      • Daabido on 23/11/2012 - 08:58
        +1

        No. Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far, away, but generally as years go by the difference between student and retail prices has diminished considerably. More like 6 or 7% these days.

        • ericc on 23/11/2012 - 09:06

          Hmm, still great. So what do i need when i purchase anything from apple store now? Just student card?

        • Daabido on 23/11/2012 - 09:13

          You don't even have to put in your student card. It is an honour system. I've never heard of anyone's ID being asked for, but there is a limit on the number of products you can buy per year as a student - one desktop and one laptop springs to mind.

        • ericc on 23/11/2012 - 09:29

          what's about ipad or iphone? will students get discount on them as well?

    Kogan was down at $2.8k for a while but they seem to have bumped it back to 3. Am I missing any other retail stores with lower prices to price match with at JB?

    Whilst I agree the discounts aren't fantastic, there are at least some discounts on things that you normally can't get any cheaper.

    For example, BTO macbooks. I don't think any store like DSE or JB HI FI will do discounts on BTO orders, yet you can get $105 (yes I know it's not great!) off through today's sales. If you only need a standard config, then of course for most macs you're better off getting it at DSE or JB HI FI with a 10% discount.

    The other couple of worthwhile discounts is the iPad 4th gen 32GB and 64GB models.

    I was never expecting Apple to be overly generous, though I also feel that Apple should not be given special treatment, as any other brand would be blasted on here for such small discounts.

    1. No iPad Mini discount.
    2. The iPad 4 16GB Wi-Fi already costs $498 at Big W, so this device was really not discounted at all.
    • ThadtheChad on 23/11/2012 - 16:18

      What the…. really? Black Friday discount? Negged.

      Disclaimer: Not anti-apple as I have the ipad2, iphone4s and a macbook; but these discounts are ridiculous.

      • Ace on 23/11/2012 - 18:58
        +1

        I agree, but it isn't worth a neg tbh just because you don't like the % discount.

        Sure other stores like DSE have had better discounts in the past (20%) but currently Apple is offering the lowest prices. If you can find the discounted items cheaper elsewhere today then it's worth a neg.

        • ThadtheChad on 23/11/2012 - 19:21
          +2

          Disagree. It has to be worthy of being called a bargain… not "the cheapest price today".

          For instance, since there are no SSD deals today (shocking!:P) so would that mean that the price in your local MSY qualifies as a bargain?

        • Ace on 24/11/2012 - 05:37

          You can't compare Apple discounts to SSD discounts… Apple discounts happen a lot less frequently than SSD deals do therefore they are more worthy of being posted. Apple discounts are what, usually once a month? SSD deals on the other hand happen at least twice a week minimum.

        • ThadtheChad on 24/11/2012 - 12:10

          Mate, you're entitled to your opinion as am I. :) I cited the SSD example just to illustrate my point.

          Still think the Apple Black Friday is a minor discount and in no way a true bargain. Anyway, someone revoked my neg as they didn't quite agree with me.

  • kidd on 23/11/2012 - 14:14

    I got the email from Apple this morning and thought this is pretty pathetic discount..and they only do it ONCE a year, seriously even other retailers have done better. No wonder there are die-hard Apple haters. However, I do admire their whole marketing strategy to be able to do a small discount with so many ppl jumping for joy. (I am neutral and I do have apple products)

    If this was from any other manufacturer or retailer, 5~10% off RRP would get negg'd pretty bad..

    Not the cheapest, DSE right now has 10% off Apple computers.
