MacMall's own Black Friday deals match those from OnSale and Club Mac on 9 models, while Amazon.com offers the best deal on the 8-Core Mac Pro.
We've laid out the below Black Friday Mac Pricing Matrix to make it easy for readers to locate the lowest price on the Mac model of their choice. The best prices are highlighted in bold. The "Discount" column to the far right reflects the amount of savings between Apple's suggested retail price and the lowest price offered Friday for that respective model.

$20 discount on a Mac Mini, or $100 off of a $2,000 macbook? This does not even cover the sales tax in my state. They market it like it's such a big secret on their web site, something that needs anticipation, instead it is very disappointing for what is supposed to be the one day of the year for big discounts, and especially in a depression you would think Apple Inc. would want to kick start sales.
The best prices are highlighted in bold.
They are? All looks like the same font over here....
To see the bold go to the main article page:

You have the wrong numbers on 3Ghz iMacs, it's $2,098.
Edit:
Also, MacMall and OnSale are the same company. MacMall, OnSale and ClubMac all all in California, which does not help us in CA to skip the tax, and all require a mail in rebate. You would think one of the Non-CA retailers would have buys.
CrapBuy, sorry BestBuy, has crap on Mac Sales.
So much for the 15% discounts analysts were predicting.
