any external link for apple eduation store?

Who is eligible for education discount please?

it sure does! just got 12 months 0% finance through paypal for iMac 27" 5k including education discount after seeing this thread today!

Yes it does. Just select 'instalments' at the checkout when it asks which payment option you would like to use. :smiley:

​It does, there's 2 options, Barclays or PayPal credit, choose PayPal for 0% finance

​yes it comes up with the deals! :smile:

yup

I would suggest 13 inch one with at least 256 SSD, if you want to carry it around. 15 inch one is bit heavy but good for intensive tasks like video editing. So it depends what your primary need. For most task 13 inch one is just fine, but at least 256 SSD is a must.

Unfortunately macpros don't come with a screen! But you can use 3 4K screens on one! I suggest you do this, it's totally awesome!

I picked up the rMBP with 256gb ssd a few months back and its a cracking bit of kit, screen is absolutely beautiful, feels very well made. The best bit though is the battery life, I use mine for coding and university work and after 6hours ill have dropped around 10% battery.

Everyone says that Apple overcharge and you are a mug for buying them but if I had purchased a windows laptop I would have to take a charging cable everywhere with me.

Bla bla bla

People buy cars, houses, washing machines, holidays on tick. Why should this be different for you?

If it's 0%, it's easier for some people to pay off in installments rather than one lump sum. If you don't like Apple, fair enough, it's difficult to knock this deal though.

Do you spend all your days just hating??

Looks like someone's struggling to understand the concept of cash flow.

Lol dude, prepare to be torn to bits now. You just insulted something these people old dearer than their own mothers.

On topic, I thought most companies offer finance at 0%. Then again that's limited to a certain time and if you pass it they add interest so this deal would be good for some mugs. Edit: oh this is only over a year. Hmmmm. Well it's apple so similar deals for similar term from Argos and credit cards are lesser so by brand sanity distortion field.

I should talk, just got a new Apple TV and going to get the new magic keyboard.

Shut up, I hate apple haters.

Yes, Apple kit is more expensive BUT it works very well, IMO worth paying extra for.
I'm not knocking Android or windows based stuff (I own both) but the Apple products do run better.

As for not being able to afford it a lot of people can't stump up a big lump of cash in one go but spread over 12 months and with no intrest to pay it IS a good deal.

Well you can say that the hardware is overpriced, but a lot of the cost comes down to the operating system. Plus one thing is certain, apple products tend to hold their value very well.
Either way its a product choice so down to the individual, but interest free is interest free.

Bore off

"Value" does not only apply to bottom bang for your buck. Value can be perceived to be anything subjective, it can be aesthetics, it can be functionality, it can be absolutely anything to anyone, not always just cheapest for the money. Apple's sales show that, they aren't the cheapest, not by a long shot but there's value in paying a premium to many.

Because I don't want to pay everything all upfront since is 0% interest?

You obviously are deluded. You wouldn't necessarily use 0% because you can't afford it but because of the present value of money it works out cheaper. Obviously too advanced for your deluded brain.

Apple can offer cracking value, I just traded in my iPad 3 on Thursday for £128 cash, I paid £299 4 years ago
And as a low estimate I've used it for 5000-6000 hours in that time.,

Apple make the hardware and the software, they are therefore able to control the user experience to a much higher degree than other platforms, this is what you pay for. I use all platforms and I like all platforms, there aren't really any poor ones anymore.

Obviously you know everything about everything and are ALWAYS right.

We bow to your superiority

Self righteous high horse alert

Here we go again. Always one ! Gets very very boring.

Charging more? IPhone is same price as new Samsung..

Macbook Pro I'd cheaper than Surface Book.. And actually Macbook looks expensive since there aren't many Windows laptops in that price range however for the price and performance Macbook Pro beats any Windows.

How boring! Apple bashing, do not listen to the above nonsense! If you wish to purchase premium products that last the test of time & doing it this way is better for you, then go for it, you won't regret it, funny thing is 99.9% of apple haters, own no Apple products at all

I do apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you. I don't have £500 disposable right now however, would easily be able to pay £45 per month so I can have something now rather than wait until I have saved enough for it.
If this doesn't fit in with your perception of the world that everyone can only have what they have the money for right now then, there might be something wrong. How did you come up with the thousands required to buy your house? If you had it in your back pocket I have to question why you're here and if you understand the spirit of the site.

Feeling better now ...... how many Androiders have the latest software?

let people buy what they want, fam - it's not gonna change your life, is it?
