Apple Cutting Prices For The Holidays

By Digital Trends Staff November 26, 2008

You might say there’s never been a better time to buy a Mac. Resellers like Best Buy are dropping prices to attract business, up to $100 on a Macbook. Now Apple is fighting back to get its share of that business.

Apple store managers have been told to match all reseller discounts. According to a blog report on ifoAppleStore, they’ve been instructed to match any other price as long as the customer brings in an ad to prove that lower price.

The offer only applies to selected laptops and marks a first for Apple, which has a history of never offering discounts, except on Black Friday. There will also be a special iPhone 3G gift card. Some Apple stores are set to open as early a 3 a.m. tomorrow.

The Dell XPS 13 has dropped to one of its lowest prices

The Dell XPS 13 9315 on a table against a window.

With the arrival of the new Dell XPS 13 that's part of this year's Dell XPS reset, the previous-generation Dell XPS 13 is down to a very affordable $599, which is one of the laptop's lowest-ever prices. We're not sure how long stocks will last as this is a clearance sale, so it's highly recommended that you hurry up in completing your purchase if you want to take advantage of Dell's $200 discount on the device's original price of $799. The offer may be gone as soon as tomorrow, so move fast to make sure you don't miss out on one of the most attractive laptop deals today.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 13 (2022)
The Dell XPS 13 (2022) used to reign over our list of the best laptops. Two years since its launch, it's still there -- but now as the best budget laptop that you can buy. For its discounted price, you'll get a laptop that looks and feels like a high-end device due to a stunning visual design that includes a 13.4-inch Full HD+ screen with barely any bezels. The laptop is very compact so it's easy to bring with you anywhere, and it features a comfortable keyboard that will help boost your productivity.
