Just phoned up and ordered a MacBook Black with HE disscount and with 3Yr Care for only £47, was a bit worried as they asked for student email address, but had to tell them i don't use my university email address and gave them a additonal gmail address, Can't wait :D
 
So do you actually have a university email address? Or just blagged it ? ;)

Also, post pics when you get it ! The more the better.
 
Be wary, I once gave them a gmail address and they emailed me asking for proof.

Nothing a spot of photoshop can't sort out though ;)
 
So what sorta discount would you get on the middle spec macbook at £850 odd then

ive got a mate whos at university...and ive just orderd but may cancel:)

Would that work then ordering in my name with his discount:confused:

thanks
 
Ordering with the student name (presume heshe is a Uni student) you'll get 14% off total price, which is a bargain :)

Just make sure the delivery address is yours and you're there to pick it up e.t.c. Once it's in your hand, you can register it under your name (in terms of OS and hardware) - as that's done over the net... iirc.
 
so i could order under his name but would they accept this then as im going to be paying with my card in my name?
 
They will accept your card - I used my mum's credit card when I ordered my MacBook (until I had enough to return to her:p)

You can always pretend to be that student's step-dad or something...

I actually tweaked my acceptance letter by a year or two, and took a picture of my graduation diploma.

..my story was I was a returning Masters student.
 
hmm good point may have to try this then...he he


Well my mates only just left university ..do you think itll still work?

Also what do they ask you for...just university email?

Sorry last question.....Ive just orderd within the last 2 hours,Do you think i could give em a call saying i didnt realsie i could get discount .etc....hoping they deduct it from the price?

Best bet would be to cancel completely.

Then just ring them up (0800 039 1010), and say you're looking to buy a Black MacBook for your University course.

They'll ask for your University and course, just tell them... but try and engage the customer service rep in conversation.. a witty joke is always good.

They'll probably not ask for proof, if they do you can a) bail out b) offer to send an acceptance letter.

Not sure ringing them up now that the order has gone through is exactly a good idea.. they may ask for proof, and it could complicate the order.. best to start again me thinks :)
