Killer Deal: Free AppleCare with 12" MacBooks, plus cash discounts, free LG super drive, free Apple USB-C Adapter & free USB hub

About this Unbeatable Offer

This exclusive offer from Apple authorized reseller Adorama and AppleInsider is made possible through special 12" MacBook + AppleCare bundle links listed in our Macs with AppleCare Price Guide (also below) and this $100 mail-in-rebate, which combine to not only back out the full $249 cost of AppleCare, but also up to an additional $114 off the MacBook itself. Step-by-step instructions for obtaining the advertised prices are at the end of this article.

As of press time, each of these bundles was in stock and ready to ship free of charge. Additionally, Adorama will only collect sales tax on orders shipped to NY and NJ, which will save most shoppers an additional $115-$150, depending on the model. In total, most shoppers will save between $370 and $530 with this deal when compared to buying directly from an Apple store. The savings figures listed in red typeface below reflect only the savings on the MacBook and AppleCare. They do not factor in the value of the 3 free accessories, which are an additional value.

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.
