Where is the cheapest place to order a new macbook currently? My friend is looking for one with a 9400 graphics card.

ebay or a university/corporate discount program.
-
Agreed. University students tend to get the best discount. I was able to get 25% off my Macbook.
-
Amazon has some good deals on Macbooks, and they are tax free!
-
That's how I bought mine. -
I think macmall is good place to go, but not sure. I never bought anything from them, but I heard about good thing about them.

ebay+cashback

Is eBay really the place to go?
Its hard to find posting for MB. I see more posting for MBPs than the former.
I'm also in the market for a MB unibody. So far, I think Clubmac has the bests deal.
Also, I'm in NY, so most of the stores WILL charge sales tax (Apple store, Amazon, and others.) -
it is!I bough my 2.4 alu for ~1000$ with chashback,and it is ~1600+tax @ apple store!
-
eBay really is the way to go to get the best price.
-
and if you buy with pp,you are covered against scam!
-
My MB466LL/A that I got a few days ago costs even more than yours. Man, now I regret getting my Mac.
-
How do I know that the laptop I'm purchasing will be eligible for Apple Care? As long as its purchased within a year?
If I buy it and the seller doesn't have a receipt for me, how can I provide proof of purchase (since ebay is not an authorized reseller).
Thanks! -

Ebay is pretty cheap, however there is always risk associated. I usually pay the extra and get it from Apple. You get free postage from Apple and they are very FAST.

Explains how the process works. -
I just bought a Macbook unibody 2.4ghz (brand new and sealed)
1499 - 200 - 100 = $1199
Very satisfied. -
I'm jealous; eBay never emails me coupons. -
They never emailed it. When I logged into ebay, it showed that I had a coupon available lol
-
-
Does it work with other sites/online retailers?
that's sweet! -

hey i dunno if you're specifically looking for the aluminum version, but i just got an email from microcenter and they are offering the white plastic macbook for 999 with a $200 rebate... its the new flavor with the 9400m gfx. 799 for a brand new white macbook is very reasonable.

I just ordered a brand new 2.4GHz aluminum Macbook for $1450 with $200 cashback, so the final total was $1250!!!
I would've never known about it had you not shared, so thanks again.
Now I just have to be patient and wait for it to get here. The next few days are gonna be loooooonnnnggg. -

-
Same thing for me, I need to wait 60 days.
Glad I you got a good deal as well! -
Hmm, that's odd, the $45 cash back I got was instantly deposited. Maybe if it's under a certain amount (probably $50 or $100?) it instantly goes in... -
My cashback is for $200, which I believe is the maximum amount you can get back. -
