Deal Details
I waited to post this after my shipment arrived. It arrived last Friday and is brand new. My first order got canceled when I used a valid credit card. The subsequent order went through after changing the mode of payment to Paypal. You can pick any college and you do not need an EDU account.

It's Follett Bookstore, which is legit. Dang, would love to pull the trigger on this; it's $200 cheaper than the EDU discount. I just don't want to run into any trouble, basically lying and saying I am affiliated with a college.

Quick Google search shows many sites selling for comparable prices. Doesn't really seem like a deal?

Before, or after the recent across-the-board price hike?

You are aware the prices got jacked up $200 by Apple or no?

Follet is a well-known college bookstore company. They're legit.

Any idea if any of the box box stores can do a price match? Would rather go with them since there returns policy is better.

Last month it would have been a bad deal now, I can't find any new M5 airs at this price.
