It may not be a savings-I just didn't have the chance to go to the store and was in a hurry to have it delivered for a gift. Hope someone can answer-maybe call the Apple store?

Yes it is. I bought one from the Apple Store at full retail and then bought this one through Amazon at half price and they are the same thing.

WOW i just noticed that, its the only reason I didn't go ahead and place my order, can anyone confirm this? i get free shipping here and no tax, but apple wants to charge me tax, so i came to amazon, but i don't want to wait a month.

It's because Apple rarely offers discounts. Think about it...Apple's Itunes charges "hit songs" for $1.29 instead of $.99 or $1.00 like Amazon and almost any other online store. Also, the only time Apple has a sale from my knowledge is black friday. And for how much? Like 10% ($1,199 macbook pro is discounted by $110 cheaper on black friday). The only other time Apple gives something back to their customers is their offers when you buy things like a computer (ex: we will throw in a free ipod touch or give you $50 off if you're a student)...big deal when you are paying that kind of money. Apple products are almost always cheaper online through other sites. Don't get me wrong, I love Apple's products but I don't love how they manage their sales. I realize you can debate about you are paying for what you get, but I disagree how apple never offers discounts when other company's do.

I just bought it at digitalelectronics4less.com for $180. I'm confused since it is listed for about $260 everywhere else (and sometimes much more!)...but it appears to be new and have all accessories. Score!

They've made several versions of this, and given the big discount, it's probably an older model, possibly for the first iPad. if it's not, you can always return it.

The price new is $9,999, not $999. The $999 one must be the cut rate version they sell to discount electronics sores.

One of the biggest reason is that the new version do not get overheated, it continues to be fresh even working for long hours. Also the retina display is amazing!

Thanks so much for the tip! I also answered my own question by searching Amazon, and found that Amazon sells Applecare as well, at a much lower price than buying direct from Apple.

It's definitely overpriced. Buyers shouldn't reward sellers who gouge. As it were, Best Buy online currently has the 16gb model for sale at the MSRP of $399. Why anyone would may this kind of markup is beyond me. ASUS will be ramping up production soon enough to meet demand. A little patience will save a significant chunk of change.

Be aware that if you get it customized from Apple.com, you can only return it if it is defective, even if you are willing to pay the 10% restocking fee. And if you do decide to return a defect unit, make sure you do not get it serviced, because if you do, you can not return it any more. All these are stated in the Apple's return policy. I would recommend buying a standard model and upgrading it as needed. The process was made very easy and you probably will end up paying less.

Hey man I just checked what you said and its true...I bought mine less than two months ago and it said newest version...amazon probably differences their bundles this way...the computer came completely new and in perfect condition its the latest model and its extremely thin...the retina display will blow your head off its gorgeous...I have some pictures on instagram if you want to see it... @wakiko007 hope I helped answering your question

Its taking a little while for it to filter down to the Apple re-salers. They show in stock now here, but most of the other major places I've called say Nov 5-7 when they'll get them in.

Did you forget tax with Apple $60 and that your actually getting a smart case too that cost $39 from us, which Apple charges Tax on that too. So you save $60 by going through us! Merry Christmas

wtf is right. why is this going for almost 3x it's regular price? surely there is a new and improved version out there (which normally makes the price of the older model go DOWN). does anyone know?
