When is the best time to buy a MacBook Pro?

I am hoping to get a MacBook Pro sometime in this next year. Right now I have a Dell laptop, and have never used a Mac before. Is it better to buy sometime in early June, when I have time to learn how to use it? Or is it better to get it on Black Friday? I will probably have to pay for all of it, so I want the cheapest option. I’m a sophomore in high school right now, at a private school. Also, does the education discount apply to me? Or is that only for college students and teachers? Thanks!!!

Answer #1

You might find some good deals Black Friday or right after some of the electronic expos you might be able to pick up last years model for a good price. As for any educational discounts check Apple’s website.

Although IMO for the price I feel you would be better off getting a good Asus or iBuyPower laptop.

Answer #2

I did a fair amount of research two years ago and got a Dell. Unfortunately, it weighs almost 6.5 lbs and is so awkward for school that I don’t use it. The only reason I didn’t get a MacBook Pro in the first place is b/c I thought it was out of my price range. I really want a much lighter computer with a smaller screen (13” vs. 16”). I know I will be bring it to school a lot starting in 2013, maybe even earlier, when I start my junior year.

Answer #3

right now in January is the best month to buy electronics cus the prices go down on last years models to make room for the next best thing
