Deepest Discount Ever: $700 off Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro (2.6GHz, 16GB, 1TB, 750M)

Even with the holiday shopping season nearing its final stretch, Apple Authorized Resellers continue to introduce significant savings on some of the company's most popular products, such as a new offer that marks down a 15-inch MacBook Pro (2.6GHz, 16GB, 1TB, 750M) by a record $700.

15-inch MacBook Pro (2.6GHz, 16GB, 1TB, 750M)

The latest discount comes from sponsor MacMall, who tells AppleInsider it's now taking pre-orders for its deepest discounted MacBook Pro ever — a 2013 15-inch model fully loaded with a 2.6GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7 (Crystalwell) processor, 16GB RAM, 1TB PCIe-based flash storage, Intel Iris Pro Graphics + NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M, 2 Thunderbolt 2 ports, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and an 8 hour battery for $2599.99. That's roughly $700 off Apple's original MSRP, $600 off the company's recently revised MSRP, and the lowest price available anywhere by $200, according to our Price Guides. The 2013 MacBook Pro family is also nearly identical to the models that replaced it a year later — with the exception of slighter faster CPUs — making them exceptional values for frugal shoppers.

MacMall says it expects to receive its shipment of these 15" MacBook Pros from Apple within the next 5 days and will begin shipping them out (shipping is free) to customers in plenty of time for the holiday, with orders being filled on a first-come, first-served basis. It's also worth noting that MacMall will not collect sales tax on orders shipped outside the following states: CA, CO, GA, IL, MN, NC, NY, TN, and WI.

$1,049 MacBook Pro & Other Macs

In addition to this model, MacMall is also listed as offering the lowest prices on a number of current MacBooks and iMacs in our Price Guides. Among them is also the most affordable MacBook Pro currently available to shoppers: a 2.4GHz 13-inch model from 2013 featuring a 2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 2.4GH (Haswell) processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB PCIe-based flash storage, Intel Iris Graphics, Two Thunderbolt 2 ports, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and a 9 hour battery for $1,049.00 after a $20 mail-in-rebate [PDF]
