Dealnews has analyzed the last three years' worth of data to find out when is the best time to buy a Mac.

Scoring deals on Apple's latest gadgets isn't as hard as it seems. Despite Apple's tight grip on prices, authorized resellers like Amazon, MacMall, and MacConnection frequently undercut Apple Store prices.

And with the MacBook Pro refresh just around the corner, Apple fans can expect savings shortly after release, with a bit of careful reseller shopping.

Let me sum this up: don't bother waiting longer than a couple days after release, you won't save very much, as a percentage of the total sale.

Didn't someone once say "it's better to say nothing and appear stupid than to speak and remove all doubt."? Why are so many people who comment on iClarify such total @$$holes? I'm astounded by the amount of crap that people post. If you're not a fan Apple products, or an enviouse windows user, why waste time posting in an apple related article?
