What's your estimated delivery?

7th - 8th of April, which breaks my heart as I wanted it for this weekend. But hopefully it might ship earlier. I shall be F5ing a bit.

I won't be taking notes of F5 times though.

If you bought it through HE, I would advise you do get the 3 year Applecare for 58 quid. I think there is some people on this forum saying that you get the 3 years free if you but through HE online. I did so, did a warranty check on my machine and it says you only get the standard 1 year possibly it used to be the case, it isn't now.

The guy on the phone said it was for the phone support. I listened in closely when he said it because I was expecting it.

When I said no, he said that the phone bills to technical support could be as high as £35 but I still said I didn't want it, to which I think he was a bit surprised/disappointed.

If worst comes to the worst, you can always pick up the AppleCare on the bay for a hell of a lot cheaper than the post-purchase retail price, even if it wouldn't be as cheap as £58.

Shipped today!

Hopefully will be here by Friday although with the competence level of of TNT, I'm not getting my hopes up.

Surely the combined expertise of this forum is better than AppleCare Phone Support? £58 too! Wow.

 

[Ripper]

Sorry of this is a repeat question, but whats the difference between the higher education store and the further education prices (apparantly you have to phone for this?).

Further education has a higher percentage off.

You can phone or go through your University network.

 

[OzZie]

It's the other way around

FE (Further Education; i.e. college) gets less discount than HE (Higher Education; i.e. University)

It's the other way around

I blame tiredness.

 

[ramirez]

hang on chaps, so you can put any educational establishment in and get the discount and no-one checks :S ?

 

[LordSplodge]

Buying a black Macbook is in the same league as buying a Ferarri which isn't red!

Exactly and also you have to pay the Black Tax!

HMM does this work?

I've ordered so many things over the phone it's a joke to be honest.

The only thing I didn't call in was my current Mac Pro, but I have ordered top-spec iMacs with HE discount and no one battered an eyelid.
