    Buying on-line you can't haggle but you get the latest product available. Buying in a shop you can haggle but are buying slightly older models usually.

    If you're a student, click the Educational link. They'll ask you the college/university you attend. Depending on the model, you get either a 6% or 8% discount last I checked, and delivery is free of course (they use UPS).

    Yeah I saw that. Would that be the best price to buy at? No one is gona be cheaper are they?

    Looks like my windows laptop is after giving up on me and might be looking for a replacement and would like to get a mac.

    Do people still sell the old power books? Really liked them and they are probably cheaper now!

    my friend rang up and said I'm looking at your website now and I was looking at buying a macbook with the educational discount but I'm not really sure, it's a bit too pricey. So they gave him an additional €50 off and a free printer! You should try it

    You can get the free printer online as well. It's a €89 printer with a €90 mail in rebate.
