The Apple HE store - Full prices and details in here. *prices correct as of 15/06/10*

does apple store only stock base models? ie. macbook pro wont come with the optional 7200rpm drive?

also what is the SSD option - intel? just seeing whether it would be cheaper to swap it out myself - if its not too hard:)

I don't think the prices have changed for the Macbook Pro, so the prices in the OP should be correct.

As for the screen, there 4 options:

Standard: Glossy 1440x900
Hi-Res: Glossy 1680x1050
Anti-Glare: Matte 1680x1050

Users on here usually say if you work in photography or print design you're better off with the matte screen. Otherwise stick with the Glossy.

This is what Apple has to say about the difference:

Excellent. Now I just need to get a place on this course. The MBP would be for the course btw lol.
 
Who said stick with glossy if you're not doing pro work? I'll take the matte screen for any purpose, who wants reflections on their screen? It's not nice at all.
 
Hi guys
I ordered a quad core i5 on Monday and it is being delivered today (Wednesday)

When do I receive the 3 year warranty email as I ordered of the uni network?
Thanks

your status won't change until up to two months from date of receipt. i would also get on and confirm with them as they seem to overlook this aspect of the sale somewhat :rolleyes:

So what will I get the 1 year in the box and then should I ring them?
What should I say to them if anyone else has done it
Cheers

There is nothing in the box - The warranty is based on the serial number.

Call them and ask about your warranty status - Tell them you purchased from a HE network and therefore should get the 3 years warranty. They probably wont have a clue what you are talking about so you might need the T+Cs from the HE website to hand. Make sure they email you to confirm the warranty is definitely 3 years.
 
I didn't know that!!! My brother is enrolled in a masters currently. He has a ID card. Problem is I already purchased my Macbook Pro on the 12th (last Tuesday).

Can I return this macbook pro so that my brother can go buy me one for cheaper using his university card?

You can return it but I would do so as quickly as possible (i.e. tomorrow) as I can't remember if it's 7 or 14 days you get.
 
Well I rang up and they said I can return it within the 14 day period without having to pay a "restocking fee" (which I read in apples terms and conditions is 10%!!! - which would be around £130) so thats very good news.

Huge discount and free iPod touch here I come!
 
I'm well pleased with that :)

Gotta say that iPod touch isn't fully free. Feel free to correct me if I have got this wrong but the 8GB touch retails at £152 and according to the terms and conditions you get £130 given back to you...leaving the total cost of the iPod at £22. Thats still a extremely good price though.

Yeah, that's correct. Still a good bargain though - you could probably get around £100 - £110 for the iPod so that'd be an extra £80(ish) off the cost of your mac :)
