“In what might be a move to clear out current inventory to make room for the upcoming line of Ivy Bridge Macs, Best Buy has slashed prices on all current generation Macs,” Buster Heine reports for Cult of Mac.
“Every single machine has been reduced in price, and while most discounts aren’t astounding, the extra $100-$200 saved on a new MacBook, iMac, Mac Mini, or Mac Pro, might be enough to entice customers who can’t wait another minute for a new Mac,” Heine reports.
Heine reports, “Apple is expected to release new Macs this summer that utilize Intel’s new Ivy Bridge processors, so buy with caution. You can purchase the discounted Macs at your local Best Buy, or online.”

This is nothing new, I bought both a MacBook Air & an iMac at these same prices at Best Buy way back last September.
Hmmm… according to the title, apart from “Apple Macs” are there Macs from different companies?
apart from “Apple Macs” are there Macs from other companies?
Didn’t Apple used to have a policy that retailers could not discount their products? I remember back in the days when the iPod was the focus, some retailers would give away freebies with iPod purchases, because Apple wouldn’t let them just have a sale on iPods.
This must have changed at some point, because every day now I read about this retailer or that cellular provider having a sale on Macs or iPhones.

Isn’t a policy that retailers cannot lower their price called price fixing? And it’s a violation of federal law? Not that it’s enforced very much.
