Responding to steep discounts offered by MacMall, and later matched in part by Amazon.com, MacConnection on Thursday shaved another $50 off Apple's most popular Mac product lines, namely MacBook Pros and iMacs.
When combined with mail-in-rebates, the online reseller's latest deals offer $150 off the 2.26GHz 13" MacBook Pro, $200 off both the 2.53GHz 13" MacBook Pro and 2.53GHz 15" MacBook Pro, $250 off the 2.66GHz 15" MacBook Pro, and $300 off both the 2.80GHz 15" MacBook Pro and 2.80GHz 17" MacBook Pro.
For iMacs, the reseller has cut $150 off both the 3.06GHz Dual 21" iMac and 3.06GHz Dual 21" ATI iMac, $170 off the 3.06GHz Dual 27" iMac, and $180 off the 2.66GHz Quad 27" iMac.
MacConnection has also bested all other resellers with a $849.99 price tag on Apple's new white 2.26GHz 13" MacBook, a savings of $149 off the suggested retail price. Meanwhile, rival MacMall continues to offer the best deals on MacBook Airs and Mac minis.

iPods
At the same time, several resellers have begun to shave down the cost of Apple's iPod line ahead of tomorrow's shopping bonanza. Current pricing on the players can be seen below in AppleInsider's new iPod Price Guide.
Both price guides will be continuously updated throughout the week.

Not a bad deal!
Is MacConnection a good on-line seller? Any buying experience from them?
Is MacMall the only online retailer (other than apple) offering the imac i7? Macmall is offering $100 off the i7. Any better deal out there? I know the imac i7 is a BTO option, but since it seems to be a popular model, perhaps Appleinsider can add comparison of that model too.
I want to buy the i7. But the fact that there are better deals out there on the i5 is making me wonder whether the $280 difference (buying i7 at Macmall vs i5 at Macconnection) is worth it.
