I just bought one myself, and in doing research, found that
Amazon and
MacMall.com had the lowest prices. In addition, MacMall sometimes has free shipping codes (check Fat Wallet or RetailMeNot) and usually has a promotion going on where you could receive a number of addition items (skins, cases, adapters etc.) free, after rebate.
I ended up getting mine at Macy's, because my employee discount was slightly better than the discounts offered by Amazon and MacMall. Plus, there was the whole instant gratification thing, LOL.
I'm sure he'll be thrilled with it. I adore mine!
