UK Macbook Pro 13". Any deals..?

[deevey]

Only thing i can think of is buying from the refurbed area of the apple store, but im not sure you get a full years warranty with them.

Yes you get all the benefits of a brand new machine, same warranty, applecare if you wish + the comfort in knowing the machine was properly checked out individually by local apple techs rather than China's QC dept

I've always bought refurb rather than new, I got one for my previous boss (17' MBP) for a $700 saving :-O

Just look at Apple Refurbs on their site and the only 13" is out of stock.

Just had an email from my fiance who works in the software licensing dept at a University and she can get me edu discount which works out the same as the Refurb price so i might go with that and upgrade the HD to 750.

Anyone want to buy a brand new 500GB 5400 HD. I'll format it so its blank and ready to install or leave it with Lion on it ready to register (i think)

I got 3 years' apple care for £48 cos I bought my MBP on the student deal (15% off and a free iPod touch as well). Thinking if I can scrape together enough it might be worth replacing it before I finish Uni in summer...

[Karlos Santos]

Yeah my fiance just told me that edu applecare is called 'HE' so im not sure it would cover me as im not actually a student.
The £48 3yr AppleCare is a steal.

confused now :-(

The mrs bought ours as she's a student. Went down to the apple store with her and they set it all up in my name even though she's the student.

[Karlos Santos]

Hmm, i'll look into it.

Student discount is the best way to go, even though I work for a re-seller and service provider we can't get anywhere near they're discount! (mad I know!)

I was looking at the ones on eBay a few weeks ago before I bought a new one, a lot have US English keyboards, with the different shaped return key, could be pain but for the saving you maybe able to deal with it, or it could be a pain if you use Traktor keyboard covers

What do you need to prove your a student? just a student card?
If so my brothers going to uni after the summer, i wouldnt mind getting a new iMac

sorry to report back a bit late karlos but my brother contacted the seller and he no longer works for apple so has stopped selling the macbooks.
