seeking to find brand new Apple products at a cut-price is a very tough game to be involved in, but in a rare glimmer of hope for those trying to save a little of that hard-earned cash, best get is running a series of deals on the MacBook Air as a Mother’s Day special. Some specifications of the ultra-slender notebook have been dropped by as much as $100, and with a additionally $25 saved by entering the code MOM25, you might even be able to treat your mommy (or yourself..) to a shiny new MacBook Air this Mother’s Day.

Some analysts and commentators have predicted that Apple may freshen the MacBook range at this year’s WWDC 2013, but even with that in the back of the mind, these best get uses are still a lot more than welcome. Apple’s prices remain normally unchanged throughout the year, but along with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, this need to go down as a golden opportunity for Mac fans to take full advantage.

Obviously, with that lingering speculation of a refresh, it stands to reason that lots of of you will want to hold off, but with the current generations delivering a lot more than capable levels of performance, you must certainly consider the MacBook Air ‘as is’ while this deal is running. Tim cook has already noted that his Cupertino company won’t be shipping any new hardware until the fall, and while this could well be mere bluster, you mightn’t want to be waiting for months for a new model which may well not include the Retina display we so hope Jony Ive has managed to squeeze into such a svelte form factor.

So there you have it. If you’re in the market for a new computer and don’t want to pay full whack, you may want to check out best Buy’s special deals. I’ve been using the current model of the 11-inch MacBook Air for the past nine or so months, and for all-round productivity, I highly recommend giving it a shot if you’re into a lot of travelling, or are just trying to find a small zippy notebook.

Please bear in mind that this will, of course, be a limited time offer while stocks last, so don’t delay if you want to get hold of some of these savings.
