US electronics giant Best Buy is offering the current crop of Apple laptops at a $100-$150 discount.
This might not seem like much of a big deal to those of you who consider the Cupertino company's hardware to be overpriced in the first place, but Apple is well known for never... and we mean never... offering reductions on its recommended retail prices. Shopping around for reduced prices on Apple kit is normally a thankless (or should that be fruitless?) task.
Best Buy is infamous for hacking retail prices, often without the blessing of the manufacturer but if that's the case Apple would be expected to pull the plug on BBs supply chain pretty sharpish.
And if rumours that Apple Stores will be matching the discounted prices prove to be true, this could be the best indication yet that Apple is battening down the hatches for a poor Christmas selling season.
Don't expect any discounts in the UK, though. Apple is notoriously tight-fisted when it comes to treating its Brit Macolytes in an equitable manner.
