Of note: apple this morning released the refreshed processors and has cut the (MSRP) prices on some of the laptops
I'm not saying this is at all a bad deal, just explaining the deeper discount; when the previous models sell out, they're usually gone quickly.
Also, applecare on laptops is *really* worth it, and it 'stays with the computer' so if you like to flip your laptops every year or two because you want the newer model before price drop, you can market your old one as 'under warranty'.
