see if you can borrow someone's laptop who has a 13"?  You can get a student discount if you know a student?

I don't think student discount is that much, like £30 or something?

It depends on the time of the year. Varies between 5-11% if memory serves me well.   Ring your local and ask whats available.  Its more than £30 of that I'm sure.  Keep us posted!

True!!! I took my nephew to the apple store with me and got the highest university discount :pomppomp:

He is doing a part time HND course at college too!

I bought a top-of-the-range 13" i7 MacBook Air with 4gb RAM and 256SSD with 3yrs AppleCare and £65 free iTunes cards.

Should have been £1800 in total but with the discount I paid £1250  :notworthy:

I LOVE my MacBook Air  :love:

Try John Lewis - I seem to recall a decent discount as I had a browse around electrical the other day.

I wouldn't bother upgrading RAM or HDD through if you decide to spec one. Just buy the bits and do it yourself. (Unless its HDD on the Air)

And if your after a 13" MacBook Pro I would stick with the i5 CPU because the i7 runs considerably warmer and battery life is a little worse. A good website for laptop/macbook reviews is www.notebookcheck.net. Unless your encoding Video or other CPU hungry tasks you won't be able to tell the difference.

The 13" form factor is brilliant though, just wish they had a hi-res display option on them.

Coming soon. Hopefully the 2012 Macbook refresh. If not, maybe 2013.
