Free LG optical drive, Free Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Pro headphones, and up to $354 off all mid-2014 BTO MacBook Pros with AppleCare

Adorama and AppleInsider are give away $200 in accessories — a free LG portable CD/DVD drive and free pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Pro headphones — with the purchase of BTO mid-2014 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pro (with fresh price drops on 13" models). Readers can also pair the offer with an AppleCare rebate, which delivers the lowest price anywhere for these models with Apple's extended protection.

This promotional offer from Apple authorized reseller Adorama and AppleInsider cuts up to $199 off of all build-to-order MacBook Pros and then throws in a free pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Pro headphones and a free LG Electronics GP60NB50 8x External CD/DVD Disc Reader/Writer (LGs alternative to Apple's portable SuperDrive). Built-to-order MacBook Pros include every configuration that is not one of Apple's 5 standard retail configurations. Since these BTO models (listed below) do not ship in the same volumes as Apple's standard retail configurations, they are often discounted less liberally than their retail counterparts, as can be seen regularly in our Mac Price Guides. This joins an existing promotion that offers AI readers Free AppleCare and a Free Canon PIXMA all-in-one printer with purchase of any iMac with Retina 5K display (which are also discounted by $50-$100 themselves).

Since Adorama only collects sales tax on orders shipped to NJ & NY, and because it's also offering a stackable AppleCare rebate (more on that below), many customers will be able to save between $300 and $600 on their order when compared to placing the same order in one of Apple's stores. Of course, it all ships free as well. In stock items generally ship next business day, while out of stock items are typically filled within 7 business days.

There are two ways to take advantage of this offer: 1) you can purchase just the MacBook Pro at discount and get the two free items or 2) you can purchase the MacBook Pro & a 3-year AppleCare protection plan at Adorama's industry-low prices, and then use a rebate to knock the cost of the AppleCare down another $50, yielding the lowest price for these MacBook Pros with AppleCare anywhere (even before factoring in the free items and tax benefits). Instructions for both these options follow.

But this online rebate knocks an additional $50 off, bringing these prices down to $124 and $194, respectively.
