Amazon offers the Apple MacBook Pro Intel Ivy Bridge Core i5 2.5GHz 13.3" LED-Backlit Laptop, model no. MD101LL/A, for $999.99 with free shipping. That's the lowest total price we could find by $49 (outside of the mention below), although we saw it new for a buck less three weeks ago. (For further comparison, we saw a refurb for $19 more a month ago; Apple charges just a buck less for a refurb today.) Features include an Intel Core i5-3210m 2.5GHz Ivy Bridge dual-core processor, 13.3" 1280x800 LED-backlit LCD, 4GB RAM, 500GB hard drive, SuperDrive, AirPort Extreme (802.11n wireless), Bluetooth 4.0, SDXC card slot, Facetime camera, Thunderbolt port, and Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

Meanwhile, students can receive an extra $100 off this price at Best Buy.
