    Is that it? If so it would be cheaper tto go to a moneylender......PC World normally have an interest free option.

    I think most PC Worlds do, although I really wouldn't recommend them. They're usually selling an old model at full price months after a new revision has been released.

    Anyway that link on the Apple page was probably mistakenly carried over from the UK site. It's happens quite a bit. Afaik Apple don't offer financing in Ireland.

    O2 Experience do interest free purchases on Apple lines. They need to be purchased off the peg so no RAM bump ups on them.

    I've never used them personally so I can't vouch for them, but I haven't heard anything bad about them.

    I looked trough a lot of forums and they seem to be ok, obviously there is some nightmare stories, but I've had nightmares with everyone from Dell to IBM to komplett but I have to use someone.

    I don't think they are, without hearing any horror stories.

    They are selling a Macbook with Tiger and not Leopard (€129 to catch up on OS if you want a "new" laptop) and somewhat older specs. Also, they are charging you for delivery, and a surcharge for paying via credit card.
