Best Buy is back at it again with a new promotion on Apple’s latest 12-inch MacBook. Today, you’ll be able to save up to $100 off plus an additional $100 if you have access to a .edu email address. To cash in on the extra savings, simply visit the student deals hub and follow the on-page instructions. Free shipping is available on the entire lot of deals.
The entry-level model (1.2GHz/8GB/256GB) is available from $1,099.99 shipped (Reg. $1,299) when the aforementioned .edu discount is applied. Pricing goes up from there with the larger 512GB hard drive available from $1,399.99 (Reg. $1,599). Apple upgraded its 12-inch MacBook in April with a focus on new processors and longer battery life, plus the addition of a Rose Gold colorway. This is just the second discount that we’ve seen and the first across every color.
As you likely know, the 12-inch MacBook uses a single USB-C port to connect to your devices. The bad news is, the entire situation is kind of a mess at the moment as manufacturers attempt to bridge the gap from previous generations. A good way to get started is to invest in a simple dock that adds a handful of ports, like this highly-rated option from Anker. For under $40 (easily covered in today’s sale), you’ll bring three USB 3.0 ports and a passthrough USB-C power input. Head over to Jeff’s recent review on LG’s latest monitor that’s designed for the 12-inch MacBook as another option. Be sure to check out our full MacBook accessory roundup for more ideas.
