Can anyone help me with getting a wedge off apple computers?

I can get the base 15" for £1213. That's around 8% discount, and then loosing the VAT on top of that.

Could do, if you do that online do you have to prove anything?

Hi mate,

Well I got the top discount when I took my nephew to the Applestore.

I got £500 off the price of a top-of-the-range MacBook Air.  :happy2:

Also my nephew works full time, but he does a 1day a week university course at a local college.  :stupid:

I spoke to a guy at the Meadowhall store and he said that's fine....just bring your student I'd card.

My nephew then realised that his card had expired.  :surprised:

So he paid £12 (I think) to renew his card but it was gonna take a few days to arrive.

The guy at Meadowhall said, just show us the email saying your card has been renewed and you can have the uni-discount. :laugh:

He also hinted on that it didn't matter that my nephew wasn't the owner of the MacBook.


Nice people those Apple people  :innocent:
