Looking for a good deal on Macbook Pro 17

[hackhelp1370]

Hi,

Im looking for good deals on a brandnew Macbook Pro 17 (SSD would be nice). I am wondering if Apple has something like EPP discount similar to EPP of Lenovo.
I am so tired with buggy Windows (Windows for 12 years), I tried Linux (3 years). I like Linux, however it's sometimes not stable.
Im willing to switch to Mac. Therefore, I desperately look for a Macbook Pro 17 (new model), since I like its design (metal and no fan) and its look. Thanks for your inputs.

Thanks.

What Linux are you working on? For the simple things, Ubuntu isn't bad.

And what is your budget? You are looking at $1200+ being spent.

I'm also looking fro a deal on a macbook pro, but wouldn't mind a smaller one with a smaller pricetag. Thanks for any other help!
