Apple Mac

Kevin! · 21-11-2009, 22:10

Hello,

I'm looking to buy an Apple Mac at christmas time, I was wondering is there any places I can get it cheaper than the listed price on the apple website?

I'd be looking for the
21.5-inch: 3.06GHz

which is quoted on the website as €1,099,

cheers,

Kevin.

Mac prices are pretty much the same wherever you go. You won't even save much by going to the UK. Apple do have a refurbished section on their website were better deals do crop up, but you'll be lucky to get one on the new iMac so soon. Benefit of buying from the Apple site is you get 3 months free technical support if you need it, try that at PC world!

I WOULD RECOMMEND THATN YOU buy one in the USA, If you know someone coming home for Christmas you could save up to 33% with the dollar Euro exchange rate.

If you buy a mac from PC World you still get the 3 months apple technical support.

I think customs would cop it when they see someone bringing a 21.5" computer onto the plane.

Are there not issues with using US Macs here? I am sure I have read about it, or maybe that was with US software working here...

apple should be having a Black Friday sale coming up soon. (this year supposed to be 27th Nov). Its an american thing to kickstart their christmas season but from what i remember the Irish apple store does the whole discount thing then also. As Stevie Dakota said they're prices are pretty much the same everywhere but this is the one time they give discounts.. hope you get what you're looking for..
