In an effort to best last year's holiday deals, AI one of Apple's authorized resellers are teaming up to offer Free AppleCare, a Free Apple SuperDrive, and cash discounts on a handful of Late-2015 15" MacBook Pros (including both key retail configurations), or a Free Apple Super Drive and up to 80% off AppleCare with the remainder of the 15" MacBook Pro lineup.
How to save $300-$600 on 2015 15" MacBook Pros with AppleCare & an Apple SuperDrive
Both deals come courtesy of Apple authorized reseller Adorama and AppleInsider and expire on 11/16/2015. The pricing links in this article (as well as those in our Macs with AppleCare Price Guide) link to special bundles that include the MacBook Pro, AppleCare and an Apple SuperDrive. The deep discounting comes from combining Adorama's existing discounts on the bundles with our exclusive $100 coupon discounts (via promo code APINSIDER) and this this $100 AppleCare rebate. Step-by-step instructions to make sure you get the advertised pricing is located near the end of this article. While the rebate and coupon price is consistent, the prices on the actual MacBook Pros do fluctuate on a daily basis, so it's best to keep an eye on our live Price Guides. Also note that Adorama will not collect sales tax on your order if you live outside NY & NJ, which should knock an average $200 more off your order total for these high-end MacBook Pros.
Note: if you don't want AppleCare or a SuperDrive, and just the lowest net price on a current 13" MacBook, the same APINSIDER promo code will knock an additional $50 off Adorama's already-reduced pricing for all 2015 13" and 15" MacBooks listed in our regular Mac Price Guide. This will deliver the current lowest prices anywhere for all of these MacBooks.

Rebate FAQs
The $100 Rebate is issued as a pre-paid $100 American Express car that can be used to make purchases anywhere a credit card can be used. It cannot be used at an ATM to redeem cash. The average lead time from when you submit your rebate application to when you'll receive your card is approximately 6 weeks. The card comes with a $100 value and you should attempt to use it in full before the end of the 4th month. After that, a maintenance fee of $2/month will automatically begin to reduce the value of your card. Best advice: use it as soon as you receive it on groceries, staples and other routine/common purchases.
