Ways to Save Money When Buying a MacBook

The new MacBook Pro is a gorgeous laptop that Apple has ever made. It is thin, powerful touch enabled and portable, but the only drawback is, it’s very expensive. Spending thousands on a new MacBook is not an easy decision for many Apple fans. But if you are the one yearning for the new MacBook Pro and don’t have enough money to foot the bill, there are a few ways to get the best price on Apple Mac Pro.

•    Student Discounts

Apple has a special online education store that sells iPads and Macs at a lower price. This deal is available for college students, parents buying for students, faculty, home-school teachers, and staff at all grade levels. You can get a $50 discount on entry level 13-inch model and up to $200 off on high-end 15-inch MacBook Pro. However, you no longer have to verify that you are a college student or work at a university to make a purchase, anyone can buy with education discount and pick it up in the store or have it shipped to them.

•    Authorized Apple Retailers

A number of retailers take pre orders with varying delivery estimates and offer free shipping depending on where you live, so you might save on taxes. However, there are few retailers like the Power Max who offer discounts on the new range of laptops. You can grab the entry level to high-end MacBook Pro for just a few dollars.

•    Buy at the Right Time

When you buy a new laptop and later find out that the new range is being released in a few days, you certainly won’t like it. Thankfully, Apple is quite predictable when it comes to new MacBook release, so it becomes easy to know when the new model will hit the shelves. Once you know when the new model will be released, you can make up your mind to buy or wait for the price to slash.  

•    Buy Refurbished or Used MacBooks

One of the great things about Apple laptops is their ability to withstand the test of time. MacBooks hold their resale value and are checked fully before selling so it is safer to buy refurbished or used MacBook as compared to other laptops. Refurbished Macs are the returned previous year’s models or reconditioned current models. A reconditioned model could be a unit sold to a customer who decided to return it or a demonstration model used during Apple teaching programs. The saving on buying a used Mac is always around 15% to 20%.

These are some of the tips to help you get the best price on Apple Mac Pro.
