AppleInsider sponsor MacConnection launched the sale overnight, combining its already reduced pricing with limited-time mail-in-rebates of up to $150. The result is the lowest prices we've seen all year across Apple's three most popular Mac product families: white MacBooks, MacBook Pros and new iMacs.
The sale also offers a $29 mail-in-rebate that can be combined with a $40 HP mail-in-rebate for a free HP Photosmart C4680 All-in-One Printer with the purchase of each of the aforementioned Macs.

As always, additional savings across the remainder of Apple's Mac product families can always be found in our Mac Pricing Guide (also, below). Purchases made by following the links in the guide and those in this article help support AppleInsider and its editorial staff.
The recent resurgence in Mac sales continues to help Apple boost its bottom line, with the company recently coming off its strongest Mac quarter ever in which it shipped over 3.47 million systems.
The growing popularity of the systems is also spilling over to government and the enterprise, where Mac sales rose 200% and 50%, respectively, during the three-month period ended June.

Is this on top of business/education etc discounts? Because that could bring a MacBook down to slighty over $500

Pretty safe to say no -- I believe the prices you see for the sale in our charts are already below cost, which means MacConnection is likely taking a loss on the cost of each Mac in an effort boost attach rates alongside each purchase.
A general question -- why is MicroCenter not listed in the buying guide? Seems like they are one of the most important Apple resellers with an actual B&M store.

Do you see any Microcenter ads on AI? No? Well, that probably answers your question
