Not a deal for everyone but in response to the $775 M3 w 256gb HD that went front page two days ago, I figured I'd post today's sale. For $200 more with the EDU promo you can "upgrade" to the 512gb HD and core M5 processor. You probably won't get much better than this price with a 512gb SSD unfortunately.

Price is 1099.99 minus the $125 EDU discount bringing it down to 974.99. Previously went front page for $25 more which also seemed to only include gold and silver.

Sale applies to all colors.

EDU coupon is free to anyone that signs up for coupon deals.

If Zuckerberg could develop Facebook on an even smaller laptop with a 1st Gen Pentium M, I think you'll do just fine getting through your college program

Thanks for posting this. I saw this yesterday and went ahead and ordered. I was happy to see that it's already out for delivery! I used the .edu coupon and had about $40 in rewards I used to get it down to about $990 after tax.

Maybe the m3 might have been. I haven't seen the m5 w the 512 lower than this unless it just wasn't posted.

Unless I just can't find the deal, it's the m3 you're talking about. The 50 hour sale was $500 off which would make it 1099 for the m5.

There really is not much difference between the 2016 and the 2017. I tried them both out at the same time and kept the 2016. The keyboard is a little different (not the big deal some people claim it is) and the processor is upgraded but that's about it. I would save money and get the 2016.

Correct, it was the m3. I haven't seen the m5 at this price before unless it happened and wasn't posted here.

I almost pulled the trigger on this for my wife, but ended up getting an open box MacBook Pro instead. The MacBook seems like too much of a change (would also have to buy a hub and get rid of the Thunderbolt Display). Great deal though!

I was planning to get the same for my GF... I took her to Apple to check them out (claiming it was a future purchase for myself) and she didn't like how small it was (he-yo) and ended up "picking" a 15" MB Pro (FML).
