    I've asked the same question on the BA thread that their rep is posting in and not seen any reply yet, so I'm trying here.

    I've looked a few times and I still can't see any difference between this MBP:
    http://www.pcworld.ie/Product/APPLE-MacBook-Pro-Z0J72BA/298989/302
    Supposedly reduced from €1400 to €1200, and the usual base model MBP:
    http://www.pcworld.ie/Product/APPLE-MacBook-Pro-MC374BA-133andquot/296956/302
    that they're selling for €50 less.

    Can anyone enlighten me?

    I've a bonus due in January that I had intended spending on an iMac but I've also got a semi for an MBP and if there was a worthwhile discount to be had I could let it ride on the credit card for a few weeks.

    The only difference I see is the €1199 model has a 320gig hard drive vs 250gig for €1149. The same specs can be got from apple for €1194 (or €1123 with edu discount).

    Don't know how they can get away with saying it's €200 off when it's more expensive than apple's own pricing.

    ok, i see what they're doing.

    there are 2 standard config 13" macbook pros

    MC374 - 2.4ghz, 4gb ram , 250gb hdd @ 1149
    MC375 - 2.66ghz, 4gb ram, 320gb hdd @ 1499

    what they've got here is a custom build option called Z0J74. this is just the basic MC374 with the added 320GB hard drive. the price of that should be 1194 - i think they are making out that its the MC375 and they are marking it down. which it isnt - the MC375 has the 320gb hdd and the 2.66ghz processor
