That's really odd. If you're happy to buy from them you might just borrow someone else's computer for a few minutes. Or try at home. Or use a smartphone or even call on the phone. Of course, if you've bought from Apple already then MacMall's offer is too late for you but good for Apple (and you, you lucky dog).
Wish I could afford. Even with this additional discoun,t which works out to about 4%, it'll continue to be just an aspiration for me. On the other hand, I hope MacMall decides to have a flash sale on the new iMacs when those come out. (Oh, when? when?!)
I would have been more then happy to buy from MacMall... But MacMall now blocks my IPs for whatever known reason. I get 403s all the way (Access forbidden). I cannot even unsubscribe from their mailers now. So... my money went directly to Apple... for my 2.6/16gb MBP/r as of two days ago,
All I have to say is shame on MacMall. Good way to treat your customers.

You can also get better saving through education discount and i assume there is an enterprise discount?
But I ordered mine with the same configuration (2.6ghz/16gb).
I wonder if they will get it shipped out earlier than the 5 days. Or at least I hope it is ready on friday. I've read some people are having trouble with the LCD screen. So I hope I get a good screen (kinda hope it is a samsung screen, they don't have the burn-in problems, but I assume its a small amount of people). But the sooner i get it, the sooner i can make sure it working correctly and then install windows and get ready for classes

I believe the next to the last one has the wrong specs. It should be 768 GB.
Does MacMall have a student discount similar to Apple's on top of this deal?
You have to spend $3600 to get a $160 saving? You can just go to the Apple Educational Store and get $200 off for a Macbook Pro with Retina display. Starting at $1,999.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's for the 95% of computer purchasers who are not students or educators?

Except no, not unless you're an educator/higher-ed student.
you do know theres nothing that asks you guys to prove you're students or educators right? just type in a school name select it and enjoy shopping at ridiculous discounts xD

You do know that's fraud, right? And completely illegal.
And also incorrect; random audits allow them to remove all discounts before the order is placed. They'll even call you and tell you your order was placed at the right price.
