Resellers offer over 7% off new MacBook Pros with discount coupons
A handful of Apple authorized resellers began reflecting stock of the company's new MacBook Pros on Wednesday, offering discounts of up to 7% (or $165) through special discount coupons.Thus far, none of the resellers appear to have received their first shipments of either the 2.4GHz 13-inch MacBook Pro or 2.66GHz 13-inch MacBook Pro. On the other hand, most are reflecting immediate availability of the new Core i5 and Core i7 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pros.
Of all the resellers, MacMall has the lowest prices across the line when exclusive 3% discount coupons for AppleInsider readers are added to its already reduced pricing. It's also offering free shipping on all orders in addition to mail-in-rebates good for a free copy of Parallels 5.0 and a free 8GB Flash drive.
More specifically, it's selling the 2.4GHz 13" MacBook Pro for $1,125.19, the 2.66GHz 13" MacBook Pro for $1,406.49, the 2.4GHz 15" MacBook Pro for $1,687.79, the 2.53GHz 15" MacBook Pro for $1,872.09, the 2.66GHz 15" MacBook Pro for $2,036.99, and the 2.53GHz 17" MacBook Pro for $2,133.99.

I've called AI to the carpet numerous times for their habitual promotion of products as news stories. If they would simply provide a note that they are receiving promotional consideration for their story, or if they would label each promo piece as "ADVERTISING" they would be a far more credible source of real breaking news and unconfirmed rumors. Technically, it's not illegal, but it certainly is unethical.
I dont mind these advertisements but I agree they shouldnt be passed off as a story, cluttering up my RSS feed. 
Note that MacMall is cheapest, but not as configurable as other sources (e.g., no option for a 7,200 RPM HDD for some reason). Also if you do customize it in any way, shipping jumps to 5-7 days with a note to "call us". So I guess if you want exactly what they have to offer, saving a few bucks is OK...
macmall sure aint the cheapest if ya live in cali. 10% sales tax ---oouuuuchh
So as other have stated, this is nothing less than an advertisement... This is not news... But what gets me is that a company is putting a "Discount" on a product that has yet to sell. That seems kind of odd to me. Why not just adjust the price? Are they so worried that people are buying Windows 7 machines like hot cakes that they need to discount a product that you can't even own yet?

It's their forum.
Reported to Google already, hopefully they will remove this Advertisement from their news stream soon...Sorry, but I want to read news when I click on a link that is supposed to be new, I don't want to be tricked into an Advertisement...This article is no better then SPAM by passing itself off as a news article when it is an advertisement. Shame on the author...This is NOT news....
STAY AWAY FROM APPLE DESKTOPS
On my 4th iMac i5 in 2 days.
1st : DOA 
\
2nd: Video card problems 
3rd: Broken power button 
4th: Hinge is loose and display won't stay upright.
These are all brand new machines made in the 9th week of this year.
The build quality of the new iMac's is a COMPLETE and TOTAL joke. They are "Made in China" garbage and not even close to being worth the huge price tag.
What happened to Apple's quality????????????????????????
Makes me sick that Apple is charging a premium for complete garbage.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE NEED HACKINTOSH'S.
Apple is obviously only interested in mobile computing devices. Desktop mac's are DEAD.
Buy your laptops, stay away from the iChineseGarbage.

Call it what you will but if I were in the market I'd certainly like to know where the cheapest promos were.
