Save up to $325 on all Retina MacBook Pro configurations, 13″ model starts at $1,174 w/ free shipping

Update: Sold out!  Don’t miss out next time.  Follow Electronicsforward for all the latest deals… TwitterRSS FeedFacebook

Update: Amazon has price-matched Best Buy’s $200 off promotion. If you are not eligible for Best Buy’s edu discount then Amazon’s deal is better due to potential tax savings (at time of purchase) and Prime membership benefits.

As part of their 2-day Black Friday in July promotion, Best Buy is offering $200 off all available Retina MacBook Pro models for everyone, plus an additional $100 off for customers with valid edu email addresses. That means you can grab a 13″ Retina MacBook Pro with a 2.5GHz i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD for as low as $1,199.99. A total savings of $300 off the retail price of $1,499. This beats last week’s deal by a solid $100. There are two 13″ and 15″ standard configuration models available in this sale. Buyers with a valid .edu email address can grab their $100 promo code through this Best Buy page. Deal ends tomorrow.

American Express cardholders can save additional $25 with this promo, bringing the total cost of an entry-level Retina MacBook Pro down to an unheard of $1,174.

Remember the new Retina MacBook Pro does not come with an optical drive. If you cannot live without a DVD/CD drive you can pickup a discounted Apple SuperDrive fresh off an Amazon price drop for just $70. A total savings of 11%.

Google Chromecast HDMI player $35 w/ free shipping

Update (8/27) #2: Sold out again at Best Buy, but Amazon and Google Play are still accepting orders for future delivery.

Update: If Amazon shows sold out be sure to check Best Buy and Google Play for availability. Also, Google has ended the free Netflix promo due to ‘overwhelming demand.’

Amazon is now offering the Chromecast streaming media player for $35 with free shipping. This total can be up to $6 lower than ordering from the Google Play store when you take into account potential tax savings (at time of purchase) and shipping costs.

This device will wirelessly beam movies, music, web content and more from Android, iOS, Mac and PC devices to any HDTV via a WiFi connection. As of right now the Chromecast supports Google Play, YouTube, Netflix, and Chrome, but Google promises future support for more services. 9to5Google notes that in some respects it is even more versatile than an Apple TV, “Unlike Airplay, the Chromecast stick allows to original device to turn off or go to sleep. It functions as as a standalone streaming device, awaiting orders…”

Samsung Chromebook 11.6″ WiFi/2GB/16GB Flash (Refurb.) $170 Shipped (Reg. $250 new)

 

Update: Sold out!  Don’t miss out next time.  Follow Electronicsforward for all the latest deals… TwitterRSS FeedFacebook

As one of their deals of the day, Best Buy is offering a refurbished Samsung Chromebook 11.6″ WiFi/2GB/16GB Flash for $170 with free shipping.  That is a total savings of $80 off retail and $30 below the lowest price we had seen before today’s deal. The Samsung Chromebook provides an 11.6-inch display, Samsung Exynos 5250 Dual Core Processor, 2GB of RAM, 2 USB ports, and HDMI.

9to5Google reviewed the Chromebook and found it to be perfect for light computing (web browsing, word processing, email, etc).

At $250, this is a no-brainer buy for many people. Just for Google’s bump in services alone, this is a compelling offer. Google gives you 100 GB of online space—something that normally costs $60 per year—free. It also hooks you up with 12 Gogo in-flight Internet vouchers that are worth around $10 each. That means (on data costs alone) the Chromebook breaks free just after two years of use. Plus, you get a very usable machine to ‘boot’.

So, who is this for? If you depend on your computer’s speed for your livelihood, this computer is going to be frustratingly slow. Get a faster machine like a high-end MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. However, if you want to have a backup machine or a secondary machine, the Samsung Chromebook makes a lot of sense for emergencies.

Amazon reviewers love it too, extending a 4 star rating from over 2,400 entries.

In order to take advantage of this new Mac hardware you must have an AC router dishing these super-fast speeds.  This cloud router offers remote network management via the free D-Link Lite iOS app.

Initial product reviews are great, 155 Amazon reviewers rate it 4 stars.
