With the back-to-school shopping season nearing an end, some last minute offers include a couple of "killer deals" where you can save between $400- $600 on 2013 MacBook Pros that are essentially equivalent to 2014 models, $160-$250 off Mac Pros, $50 off iPad Airs and some iPad minis, up to $399 off certified iPhone 5 refurbs, and Apple's current 13-inch MacBook Air for $750 (Students Only).

Killer MacBook Pro Closeout Deals

As can be seen in our Price Guides, AI sponsor Adorama has slashed the price of a handful of 2013 MacBook Pros, which are available until supplies run out. In some cases, these closeout models are identical or near identical to the 2014 models that replaced them, given that they share the same architecture. For instance, Adorama has dropped the price of the 2013 13" MacBook Pro (2.8GHz, 8GB, 1TB) to $2,099.00, which is $400 off its original MSRP and $200 off the $2,299 price that Apple currently charges for the same exact specs on a mid-2014 branded model. And if you live outside NY & NJ, Adorama won't collect sales tax on your order. Adorama is an Apple Authorized Reseller and you must first take 20 seconds to register for a free VIP account before you can add a Mac to your cart. Similar highlights include:

13" MacBook Pro (2.8GHz, 8GB, 1TB) for $2,099.00! ($2,273.00! with AppleCare) [Savings of $400/$475]

$50 off all iPad Airs at Target

Until midnight, Target is offering $50 off all the iPad Air models which they stock.

Students also get $50 off iPads at Best Buy. Keep reading below.

$749 2014 13" MacBook Air for Students

Students still have a limited time to take advantage of BestBuy's student promotion, dubbed College Tech Savings. It offers any student with a valid .EDU email address a handful of single use coupons, including one for $100 of MacBooks and iMacs, one for $50 off iPad Airs, and another for $50 off iPad minis with Retina display. Since BestBuy is also discounting Apple's current 13-inch MacBook Air (1.4GHz/4GB/128G) to $849.99 (down from $999), students can use the $100 Mac coupon during checkout to reduce this model to $749.99 — which is $250 off and the lowest price we could find in our Price Guides by $100.

To take advantage of the offer and retrieve the coupons, qualifying students can follow these steps:

1) Follow this link to Best Buy's College Tech Page.

2) Enter your .EDU email address into the field and submit (Best Buy promises not to spam you).

3) You'll then receive an e-mail from Best Buy asking you to confirm your email address. Click the "Confirm Now" button in the email.

4) You'll then receive a second email from Best Buy titled "College Tech Savings." It will include several coupons, including the MacBook and iPad coupons.

5) You can then print those coupons and bring them to a Best Buy retail store, or return to Best Buy.com to shop online and then apply the "Promotional Code" listed alongside each coupon when you check out.
