Apple Mac Book Pro

[faisac]

Hi folks!

Does anyone know if it is possible to buy Mac Book Pro with a HUGEEEE discount?

Does Apple do this?

Is there any opportunity?

Thank you all.

Usually the education discount and sometimes a Black Friday sale.

Even then, usually up to 12-15% off.
Refurbished (see daily deals online on the Apple site) can be up to 30-35% off, depending on product.

On Black Friday. Look for stores to throw in some store gift cards. Besides that, they're pretty lousy on discounts.
I got mine from b and h. They were 100$ cheaper than apple ($20 less than micro center) and they throw is a standard version of lo jack and parallels  I think they even give you a sleeve now.
The best part is that they ship tax free outside of newyork so if you can ship to nj or something. There's 100$ right there.

Price match the Apple education discount to BestBuy and use the 10% mover coupon.

+1 for refurbished. You get the same warranty so 100% worth it.
Best buy sometimes has student discounts stackable with existing discounts if you register with a .edu address. Google on how to obtain one if you don't have.

Two things you can try:
1) Go in Safari > Preferences > Extensions and look if you have any weird extensions installed. If yes uninstall them and restart Safari.
2) Go in your Mac's Settings > Users and select the Login Items tab under your account (not in front of computer but I think that's it) and delete any weird named items and restart your computer. Don't hesitate to post screenshots if you're not sure.

This seems a awful lot like an "ad" for said adware medic, all the commenters are Level 1!
What OP has is most probably not a virus in the sense that it's deep in his registry, but some program or extension he installed by mistake.

There is a manual way to do this, but lets first try automated, as AdwareMedic has supposedly added this adware into its defs.
Follow this: http://www.thesafemac.com/arg/
If you are still having the issue after using AdwareMedic, download and run CCleaner - https://www.piriform.com/mac/ccleaner (its free).  Go to Tools - Uninstall, and reply to this post with anything that doesn't look familiar.  You can also sort by date to make it easier, although it's not always correct.
