Black Friday 2011: A List of Discounts on Apple Products and More Nov 25th 2011, 00:22 Black Friday kicks off on the day after Thanksgiving and frequently offers customers short term sales on many products. While Apple does participate, their discounts tend to be rather small. Other online retailers can sometimes fill the gap to offer more enticing offers. Sales Tax National retailers such as Apple and Best Buy charge local sales tax on all orders. So, the advantage of using other retailers is not getting charged that sales tax in many of the states. Local sales taxes are charged for the following retailers in the following states: - Amazon: Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota, or Washington - MacMall: North Carolina, Illinois, New York, California, Tennessee, Minnesota, Colorado, and Wisconsin. So, if you are in one of those states, it may make sense to look elsewhere or simply buy locally anyway if the savings are comparable. iPad 2s BestBuy was offering $45 off all iPad 2 models, but it appears to be sold out online. You may have luck at your local stores. MacMall is offering $25-$45 discounts on iPad 2s as well depending on model. They appear to still be in stock. Apple's online store will be offering $41-$61 off the iPad 2 depending on model. Stock should be good from Apple. Discounts on Other Apple Products Apple's online sales prices will be on their online Apple Store, but their discounts will generally be the worst for most products (iPad 2 exception above), especially when sales tax is included. Here's a list of prices at MacMall and Amazon across the range of Apple's products. Current Model Retail MacMall Amazon 11" 1.6GHz 64GB MacBook Air $999 -$59 -$149 (15%) 11" 1.6GHz 128GB MacBook Air $1199 -$60 (5%) -$59 13" 1.7GHz 128GB MacBook Air $1299 -$101 (8%) -$60 13" 1.7GHz 256GB MacBook Air $1599 -$101 (6%) -$49 13" 2.4GHz MacBook Pro $1199 -$101 -$149 (12%) 13" 2.8GHz MacBook Pro $1499 -$101(7%) -$74 15" 2.2GHz MacBook Pro $1799 -$89(5%) -$89 15" 2.4Ghz MacBook Pro $1999 -$140 (6%) -$139 17" 2.4GHz MacBook Pro $2499 -$150 -$199 (8%) 2.3GHz Mac mini $599 -$30 (5%) -$5 2.5GHz Mac mini $799 -$29 (4%) -$29 21" 2.5GHz iMac $1199 -$101 -$149 (12%) 21" 2.7GHz iMac $1499 -$101 -$101 27" 2.7GHz iMac $1699 -$100 -$100 27" 3.1GHz iMac $1999 -$104 -$104 8GB iPod Touch (Black) $199 -$9 (5%) -$9 8GB iPod Touch (White) $199 -$9 (5%) -$9 32GB iPod Touch (Black) $299 -$24 (8%) -$24 32GB iPod Touch (White) $299 -$19 (6%) -$19 64GB iPod Touch (Black) $399 -$34 -$35 (9%) 64GB iPod Touch (White) $399 -$34 (9%) -$34 Apple TV $399 -$4 -$9 (9%) Click on prices to link directly to product.
