Where to buy?

So I am looking to buy a Macbook. The cheapest I can find is via Refurb or Tax Free [I am travelling abroad next week].

I do have access to an employee purchase programme but the discounts are only around 10%.

So in the long run, should I go for Tax Free, Refurb or something else?

I do have concerns about the customer service from Tax Free but i guess can just take it straight to Apple retail if i have any problems?

Thanks....

Thanks, think you might be right about the old stock. Off to Apple I go then. Refurb or EPP, or investigate the HE discount.

Worth knowing that a certain high street department store (with a reasonably 'premium' image) offers 2 years warranty as standard whereas buying from apple get you one year as standard. Prices look almost exactly the same as apple store as well.

Yes, I know that retailer, but they don't have a good service reputation for laptops.... I think I'd prefer AppleCare - but thanks anyway.
