If you were looking to purchase a 13.3-inch MacBook Air, Future Shop has a sale right now where you can get one with the 8GB RAM upgrade for $200 off, at $999.99, both in-store and online:
This model comes with an Intel Core i5 1.4GHz processor, 128GB SSD hard drive, 8GB of RAM and the Intel HD Graphics 5000 chip.
Even if you jump on Apple’s Back to School promo with the education discount ($1139 which includes the RAM upgrade) and the included $110 Apple Store gift card (for your next purchase), this Future Shop price still saves you $30.
Also, your Mac purchase from Future Shop will also include a 1 year subscription to Office 365 Personal, worth $145, which covers one Mac/PC plus one iPad/tablet and one smartphone. The offer also includes 1TB of online storage plus 60 Skype minutes of world calling.
The sale ends on September 4, 2014 and is definitely geared at targeting students for back to school. Let us know if you’re going to jump on this. The sale is also available at Best Buy.

I just bought this model on Tuesday and the salesman didn’t bother to offer up this upcoming sale AND they lied and told me the Office Subscription was only for students and I required Student ID to get it.
Going back to the store and getting a price-match refund ASAP!
Good idea. No where does it mention the Office 365 Personal requires a student ID.
Yeah, I’ll be going back in to get that Office subscription for sure.
Though I should’ve known the Salesman wasn’t very bright when he gave me the wrong RAM despite my telling him exactly what I wants not once, not twice but three times. Oh well, such is life.
