AppleInsider readers also have an opportunity this month to win a free 13-inch MacBook Pro from AppleInsider and Adorama when you take 20-seconds to sign up for the Apple Authorized Reseller's VIP customer program. The drawing doesn't take place till April 15th, but once having registered for VIP, you can take advantage of some exceptional and exclusive offers put together by Adorama and AppleInsider for a limited time. They include:
This promotional offer from Adorama and AppleInsider cuts up to $199 off of all build-to-order MacBook Pros and then throws in a free pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Pro headphones and a free LG Electronics GP60NB50 8x External CD/DVD Disc Reader/Writer (LGs alternative to Apple's portable SuperDrive). Built-to-order MacBook Pros include every configuration that is not one of Apple's 5 standard retail configurations. Since these BTO models (listed below) do not ship in the same volumes as Apple's standard retail configurations, they are often discounted less liberally than their retail counterparts, as can be seen regularly in our Mac Price Guides. This joins an existing promotion that offers AI readers Free AppleCare and a Free Canon PIXMA all-in-one printer with purchase of any iMac with Retina 5K display (which are also discounted by $50-$100 themselves).
Since Adorama only collects sales tax on orders shipped to NJ & NY, and because it's also offering a stackable AppleCare rebate (more on that below), many customers will be able to save between $300 and $600 on their order when compared to placing the same order in one of Apple's stores. Of course, it all ships free as well. In stock items generally ship next business day, while out of stock items are typically filled within 7 business days.
There are two ways to take advantage of this offer: 1) you can purchase just the MacBook Pro at discount and get the two free items or 2) you can purchase the MacBook Pro & a 3-year AppleCare protection plan at Adorama's industry-low prices, and then use a rebate to knock the cost of the AppleCare down another $50, yielding the lowest price for these MacBook Pros with AppleCare anywhere before factoring in the free items and tax benefits. Instructions for both these options follow.

2) MacBook Pro with AppleCare, Free LG optical CD/DVD drive & Free Audio-Technica ATH-M50x
Readers can sweeten the aforementioned offer by tacking on a 3-year AppleCare protection plan to the same order as the MacBook Pro and save roughly 50%. Adorama currently offers AppleCare for 13-inch MacBook Pros for $174 ($75 off) and AppleCare for 15-inch MacBook Pros for $244 ($105 off). But this online rebate knocks an additional $50 off, bringing these prices down to $124 and $194, respectively. These are the lowest prices anywhere but AppleCare must appear on the same order as the MacBook Pro to be eligible for these rebates. Below is a list of total prices and savings for this promotion with AppleCare bundled in. Please note that your initial out-of-pocket cost will be $50 higher than the prices listed below (before any applicable tax) until you complete the order and submit the rebate form.
To take advantage of this offer with AppleCare added, you must follow these simple steps:

Win a Free 13-inch MacBook Air
AppleInsider readers also have an opportunity this month to win a free 13-inch MacBook Pro from AppleInsider and Adorama when you take 20-seconds to sign up for the Apple Authorized Reseller's VIP customer program. The drawing doesn't take place till April 15th, but once having registered for VIP, you can take advantage of some exceptional and exclusive offers put together by Adorama and AppleInsider for a limited time. They include:
MacBook Pros with Free LG optical CD/DVD drive & Free Audio-Technica ATH-M50x
This promotional offer from Adorama and AppleInsider cuts up to $199 off of all build-to-order MacBook Pros and then throws in a free pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Pro headphones and a free LG Electronics GP60NB50 8x External CD/DVD Disc Reader/Writer (LGs alternative to Apple's portable SuperDrive). Built-to-order MacBook Pros include every configuration that is not one of Apple's 5 standard retail configurations. Since these BTO models (listed below) do not ship in the same volumes as Apple's standard retail configurations, they are often discounted less liberally than their retail counterparts, as can be seen regularly in our Mac Price Guides. This joins an existing promotion that offers AI readers Free AppleCare and a Free Canon PIXMA all-in-one printer with purchase of any iMac with Retina 5K display (which are also discounted by $50-$100 themselves).
Since Adorama only collects sales tax on orders shipped to NJ & NY, and because it's also offering a stackable AppleCare rebate (more on that below), many customers will be able to save between $300 and $600 on their order when compared to placing the same order in one of Apple's stores. Of course, it all ships free as well. In stock items generally ship next business day, while out of stock items are typically filled within 7 business days.
There are two ways to take advantage of this offer: 1) you can purchase just the MacBook Pro at discount and get the two free items or 2) you can purchase the MacBook Pro & a 3-year AppleCare protection plan at Adorama's industry-low prices, and then use a rebate to knock the cost of the AppleCare down another $50, yielding the lowest price for these MacBook Pros with AppleCare anywhere before factoring in the free items and tax benefits. Instructions for both these options follow.
1) MacBook Pro only with Free LG optical CD/DVD drive & Free Audio-Technica ATH-M50x
