$800 for a new Macbook air, probably won't last long. Seems the deal from last week for $100 off and next weeks student deal for $100 off are currently stacking.

Best Price for a macbook air, next best is $900 from the apple store with free airpods for education discount as well.

I really wish BB would sell the 16GB variants. 8GB is ok for most use cases, but anyone working with RAW photos will quickly wish they had more memory.
My 2015 MacBook air still works like a beast
Just hopped on this, thanks OP! Used my Chase offer for another 10% off on BestBuy stacks too.

I wonder how many people realize that $800 during the tax-free weekend is about the same (or better, for some) as the expired $750 PLUS tax deal(?)

It's funny how much that thread blew up, and this is an equal or better deal for everyone who's state had (or is currently having) a tax holiday, that wasn't during the short-lived $750… yet this thread barely added TU from its previous peak.

For anyone who wanted the Pro (for the touch-bar mainly… cooling fan that isn't necessarily needed… or other small reasons)… the sale, during tax-free, puts it significantly lower than previous FP… by about $100. The Pro base is $1050 OTD right now (saving $100 in tax).

News says it's only 11 states (https://www.usatoday.com/story/mo...486580001/) and also many states exclude computers, so they're not tax free at all, or exclude computers over a certain $ value.

I count four states that permit tax free computer purchase, some with $ limits.

Bummer… I thought there were lots w/ 1500 towards computers.

I took back my unopened 800 air (750+tax) and got the base Pro (mostly for the touchbar).

1050 OTD… meanwhile a thread for the M1 Pro at $975 + tax would get 300 TU… but in the tax holiday states, that's exactly what this is.

Depends what you need; you won't need to charge and use something else at the same time, as the battery lasts 10+ hours.

If you still use SD cards of old-style USB storage, sure.

Finally got mine. Any recommendation for a stand? I am using it as a desktop (replacing my old iMac) with a 2nd 25" monitor. I'd like a stand that can adjust height easily.

(ps: I already have the anker usb thundebolt hub, slim cover, and a case that someone from here mentioned and it was cheap like 8.50.)

In TX there's a $100 limit on a single item purchase, so it won't apply on almost any laptop

Previous deal was $749 plus tax, now its $799 plus tax. Wonder if there are any other coupons that can sweeten the deal

Is Apple going to release a new Macbook Air this year?

That's a bummer. In Missouri it's ANY computer purchase up to $1500. MacBook Pro plus a couple external SSD… all sale price, $0 tax.
