It doesn’t have Rich Corinthian Leather, but it has just about everything else, including a 1TB hard drive and a 27″ screen. As always, it’s a “while supplies last” – since this is one of the first times we’ve seen a deal on an i5, we expect them to go quickly.

The Mac Deal Adage is to never, ever buy software or AppleCare directly from Apple – you can always find it cheaper from other reputable dealers.

Today’s case-in-point: AppleCare for a MacBook. It’s running $250 at the apple store. You can grab it for around $200 elsewhere.   Huzzah!

If you are planning to grab an iPad, this may be old news for you: the iPad will go on pre-order March 12.  That includes on-line shipment as well as in-store pick-up “reservations” so get your e-buns on over on Friday to secure your place in line.  If the iPhone releases are any indication, we recommend an early start to your e-day.

Things have dragged to something of a uber-bargain-basement halt in the apple store for the weekend (the $850 current-gen MB is still available as of this writing, tho’), but if you’re looking for a high-end desktop, bargains abound on the Mac Pro.  You can grab a good deal and save $500+, plus score a free printer (after rebate).
