Black Friday Deals
It’s here – the biggest shopping day of the year! There are a bunch of relevant deals I have found already and will be rolling out throughout the day. However, while they are relevant for the readers of Running with Miles, some of them may not be as much of interest to those that frequent the BoardingArea home page. For that reason, I will not publish certain deals to the BoardingArea home page.
If you want in on these deals, make sure you are following me on Twitter to know when those deals go up!

How Good of a Deal Is This?
Do keep this in mind – Apple does not discount there own products. There retailers have been offering discounts on Apple products so definitely check those places (like Best Buy, Amazon, Adorama, B&H Photo, and eBay) to see what deal prices may be in effect. Also keep in mind that if you are outside of NY (and NJ for Adorama), you will not pay sales tax when purchasing from B&H and Adorama. You will pay sales tax when purchased from Apple.
On custom machines, you will get the best deal from Apple today. On refurbished models, the same should be true across the line. But, for standard things like WiFi models of iPads or non-custom built Macs, definitely give places like B&H a look.
BTW, B&H has a nice deal on a 2016 MacBook Pro 15″ laptop today for only $1,599. Yes, it is a year old but it is still a good machine. I am currently typing on a slightly upgraded model of that same computer.
