Welcome to the club,

I've had my 24'' iMac for 7 months now and eventually took off windows! cod4 and bf2 are available for mac anyway.

Looks like a good spec but i'd really consider another mouse as apposed to the wireless mighty!

pretty old for a student though lol how much discount is that worth

 

[Will_3rd]

14% off usually.

 

[J1234]

Doesn't matter, you are a 'student'.

My flatmate has one for his Mac, he seems happy with it, Logitech have software for it so you can customise the buttons and so on. Will be much, much better for gaming than a Mighty Mouse too.

hehehe just ordered it

cant wait guys its my fast mac and am like a little kid a christmas just sorting out the applecare as i did ask for it but its not on the order so the guys sorting it i hope, student discount knocked a fair chunk of it as well so cheers Justin oh am at "Leeds Uni"

also does any one no what the contract uplift imac is at the bottom ????

That's the Applecare you paid extra for.

You get 3 years as standard hardware warranty included with HE purchases for free but the extra 'Applecare' you purchase is for extended phone support.

Do they not ask for any proof?

 

[J1234]

Not usually.

They should ask, but they don't seem to bother so may as well take advantage of that.

He did ask what i was studying and i just said Graphics hence the need for an imac, the guy just got back to me about the applecare as i thought it would show up as the full price of £136 but its only £38

 

[J1234]

Yep, discounted for us poor 'students'

 

[steveo]

Yep, discounted for us poor 'students'

saves me £300 for all my "student" stuff like beer and books so am ok with that lol

 

[Logsi]

Hope you enjoy it! The wait is part of it! I love the wait, and the constant checking!

It'll come this week! No matter what apple says!

Hope you enjoy it!
