    Is this the same model?

    Apple MacBook Pro (13" Retina, Touch Bar, 2.3GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) - Space Grey (Latest Model) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FL8RF64/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_BUetCbZG5Q070

    Nope, it doesn't have the Touch Bar like the one in the link.

    Reservations codes are issued because it's genuinely in stock to order, albeit at an incorrect price and then the rest just get the error message once there's none left.

    If it's a pricing error, they'll notice and most likely just void any reservations that went through. Of course they could be nice about it and just honour it, but doubt-full.

    If the price is correct, it's definitely the bargain of the year!

    It's still showing at the price given here, and saying "half price" too.

    I'm an hour away from Portlaoise, but I'll be at the kiosk at 9am Wednesday morning.

    Worth a punt I think.

    I got a reservation number in an email but it says it can be collected from Monday. Is the only issue I have now if they will not honour the price?

    From the Argos site:

    Please note that our prices change, sometimes on a daily basis. The price you pay is the price in store on the day you collect your items.

    Thats always been the case.

    But they honour reservation prices 99% of the times.

    I would worry if it was a silly price. But 799 seems fine so the staff may give it to you if the head office doesnt ask them not to.

    Pricing is controlled centrally, so if this is a price error, it will just be updated / cancelled. The cashier won’t decide either way.

    Still worth a punt obviously, buts it’s definitely a price error.

    I know but the point is if they will honour the reservation price in the email. They have done it for me every time with high value items. So unless their head office contacts all stores telling them of the error there is a good change of getting it. It will be treated like other price changes and they update it on the till for you.

    If anyone doesn't end up using their reservation code in the Dublin area, me and my ancient laptop would be very grateful to be able to put it to good use :o

    Have tried all of Dublin, Ashbourne, Navan, and a few others. Meh, I need a new laptop but I shouldn't really be dropping €800 right now, maybe it's a good thing!

    Didn't take long for the posse to arrive :rolleyes:

    Along with those who didn't get a code claiming (dare I say jealously) that it wont be honoured, obvious pricing error, yada yada yada.

    Just be happy for those that got the golden ticket. My money is on them getting the laptop @ 799.

    If anyone was lucky enough to get a reservation code but doesn't want or can't buy the laptop then I'd be happy to give them €50 to take the code off their hands! Would still end up saving a lot as I'm hoping to buy it as a gift for someone.

    There's something not right about this.

    I've tried to reserve it twice in two different locations where it's showing "stock available" and then after I enter my email and phone number and press "reserve", it then says "out of stock".

    That means the system has been sorted and there’s actually none to reserve.
