Apple prepares for Black Friday blow-out!

It seems that Apple is getting ready for a Black Friday blow-out.

Whether you’re an Apple fan or not, or whether you’re planning on buying anything or not, it’s a good idea to see how deep a cut Apple is going to put on for Black Friday. Last year the Black Friday blow-out discounts were more tokenistic than anything (some $100 off the price of the iMac and MacBook range). This year analysts expect Apple to be far more aggressive.

We’ll have to wait and see.

Anyone out there waiting for a good deal? If so, how good does the deal have to be to get you to flex your wallet?
