Kev946 Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Can anyone recommend a place to get an Apple MacBook at a good price. Been looking at the Centrino Due 2 13.3 inch screen in white. Thanks Kevin Quote
sl114 Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 apple store? Its hard to find good prices as apple dont really sell them from retailers, there may be some though. Quote
steve_b Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Kev, Will look tomorrow to see if my company still have a 10% discount when ordering from Apple. Not sure if it is still there as not used since I got the mini-mac and a ipod. May be worth calling your HR dept to see if they have a scheme, we also get money of some Microsoft products.

steve_b Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Kev, With 13 inch screen they seem to be 1.83Ghz with 512M ram, 60gb h/d, combo drive = £703.83 2Ghz with 1G ram, 80Gb h/d and double layer superdrive = £826.03 free shipping. http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects ... lm=MacBook Seems top be only £40-50 off as corp discount. Still would buy a couple of beers. Also seems to knock off 10% from any of the options changed. Just checked and these are the same as the Educational pricing so if it happened to be for your daughter then you can get the same price as above. Quote

It is for my daughter for here college course, but was planning to buy it through my business to claim the VAT back. How can I get the discount though either way. The link shows £749 for the starter machine, which is the same at most places. Cheers Kevin Quote
steve_b Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Kev, Do not know if you will get VAT back or not but the Edu site is @ http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukInd The above link was just to confirm we are talking about the same thing. Quote

Yes found it thanks, and you're right I wouln't get the VAT back as it would have to be in my company name. Found this place doing them for £730 https://www.krcs.co.uk/shop/product/det ... ombo-white Quote

Kev946 Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 This one seems very cheap or am I missing something... http://www.microwarehouse.co.uk/catalog ... 6427b6b83d Quote
steve_b Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Do not know them but make sure it is not a refurb as they are cheaper. The 2GHz one is only £599 http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects ... .7.1.0.1.1 Quote

The 2GHz one is only £599 http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects ... .7.1.0.1.1 The 2Ghz one with 60Gb drive is £663 and it doesn't say refurb. This seems too cheap. I checked kelkoo a few days ago and the prices on these were higher. Maybe we are just about to see a price reduction and these are one of te first to advertise? Quote
Zedrush Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 are you getting her the macbook or macbook pro? Quote
