I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before so sorry for repeating if so. I've noticed a varying % off depending on the product line, which is consistent within that product line. Added in the monitor seperately as I had my eye on one, damn that's a nice discount.

10 % mac mini
12 % imac
14 % macbook pro
17 % apple led cinema display (27" flat panel)

This may make it easier for folk to estimate prices (component upgrades follow the same % discount).

In the retail stores the guys have a book which lists the discount percentages on each line. IIRC it did also slightly vary within a product line depending on the item value.

Oh really, nice. I may have to pop in and ask for one. Unless it's also listed online somewhere.

I was a little shocked by the discount on the monitor, I can see the logic in the other discounts but fail to see where 17% fits. :rolleyes:

I highly doubt they'd give you a copy. No harm in asking I suppose.

I wouldn't be surprised if they've only got one per store, as when I was buying with HE discount the guy had to go out the back to get it and it was pretty tatty!

I ordered my new iMac 2011 off a HE link. It got delivered on Wednesday no problems, I havent been asked for any proof yet.

I'm not a student, but my sister is, so I have that ready IF they ever ask me for anything.

Charge the difference to your CC as you've defrauded them maybe?

I had a scan through the Ts & Cs and could not see anything about recovering the difference so I suspect they would need to take legal action, though I would certainly not like to predict the odds of this. Would definitely not like the chances of a repeat offender of avoiding their wrath but a one off might be OK (not that I am advocating defrauding them, of course).

Exactly someone buying 10 of them is going to raise a few alarms over at apple , but one off, besides my mates are students so if it ever did come to it its theirs

triggerthat · 27 May 2011 at 15:24

Can anyone confirm if they recieved the 3 year hardware warranty when buying from HE discount?

Shadowness · 27 May 2011 at 15:41

I think you're meant to register the serial number. I keep forgetting, but thanks for reminding me!

Shadowness · 27 May 2011 at 15:43

.....and I have had no contact from Apple asking for proof of student credentials. Not that I condone anyone who can't use this properly to try!

You can't buy ten, there's a limit of one or two per year using HE discount per person.

Can anyone tell me the cost of the low spec 15" MBP with 500GB 7200RPM HDD, iWork pre-installed and the MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Glossy Widescreen Display.

Thanks

DangerMoose · 29 May 2011 at 16:26

I reckon that will set you back £1,531.20.

That was with 4gb of RAM, right?

You might as well as the delivery is very quick I found unless your buying an odd spec

I just VPN'd in to Uni (as unlike most I am a legit student

) and the first page worked, but then when trying to view a particular line I'm getting the same error message as I did externally. Externally I couldn't even get the first page to work.

EDIT: For those that don't know how the HE store works: You go to a webpage where you select your region and then your university. It then checks your IP is from the university before forwarding you to the relevant page. Once you know your University's URL you can access it from anywhere, but to know it in the first place you're meant to go through Apple's IP checking gatekeeper (or read NightShadow's naughty website).

Back working fine both internally and externally now
