A fresh wave of price drops and 2-day sales on Apple's Mac product family this friday are further sweetened by exclusive offers already granted to AI readers, yielding some of the lowest prices seen this year on MacBook Airs, MacBook Pros, iMacs and Mac Pros.
All of the new pricing and discounts can be seen in our live Apple Price Guides, though a summary of the new pricing discounts is broken down below.
