Hasn't changed since a few pages back.

Saved £352

.

I'm looking at getting one January possibly for use at university along side my rendering/gaming pc at home.

Does the HE discount equate to much on the MBP or MBA?

Si. · 23 Aug 2011 at 08:55

It's 15% off most things, plus £65 iTunes voucher, plus Apple Care for £49.

That seems a decent offer

.

Any idea on the top spec MBP price after HE discount?

Si. · 23 Aug 2011 at 13:51

Just spec up the laptop you want, take %15 off, easy.

You actually get the most important part of Apple care free by buying a Mac on HE discount. The three years extended warranty, all you get for the extra £49 is two extra years of Telephone service.

"Every new Mac purchased from the Apple Store for Higher Education comes with complimentary telephone technical support for one year from your Mac purchase date and three years of repair coverage."

I dislike Apple, but if someone wants to purchase something through me to save some cash, I've got no objections.

£1500 for top spec 15" MBP.

Might consider purchasing one in January, or a nice 27" Hazro for my pc, im unsure yet

For those in need of prices:

Those prices are still stupidly high. 1,784 AFTER discount for a 2.2ghz quad, 4gb ram and 750gb hard drive? You could get the same for £500 odd from dell, if not less.

Crazy.

It's not just about the hardware specifications.

The only dell laptops that use the same CPU as that Macbook Pro are the Alienware ones. None of the XPS ones do, and there you have the result ^. Everyone knows Macs are more expensive, but they're not that much more expensive as you're saying.

£500 you say?

It is when you can get a lower spec mac for FAR less, the software doesn't increase in price when you buy better hardware.
