Just had an email from Rakuten offering 15% off the Ipad Air 2 64GB via Pixel Electronics - bring the price down from £419 to £359 (according to Rakuten's site the maximum discount is capped at £60).
Also 2095 points worth £20.95 - better than a slap in the face with a smelly fish :)
**Looks like Silver and Gold are also available to choose as the 64GB model currently - same price**
oh...also dont forget a further potential 3.5% off via Quidco ;)

For clarity, It's the Air 2. You might have meant that already but making sure in case you had it confused with the (original) Air.
As for why I'd pay double... same reason I pay more for a BMW than a Ford.
For some, it's badge snobbery but others, it's the engineering or the nicer cabin or something else.
It just depends on your outlook really - we're all different.

and my Maths says that the 16gb is £289, good price, but is Pixel electronics and Rakuten a uk company? and what are they like?

After a few searches, it appears these are imported units and can't imagine Apple uk would honor the guarentee, so the warranty would require sending back the unit to the supplier, could be a bit of hassle, excellent price, would jump at it if this was UK units.

I bought an Ipad Air 2 last October. It came with UK plug and was a UK model.

Don't you have to purchase the Apple Care within 60 days of purchase? If yes, you would need to know if it's been imported within 60 days I suppose

The code seems to be single use.

Is Pixel Electronic reliable? The review isn't very good

Yes they are, I bought from them once an Ipad as a present and service was really good. They been selling on Play.com for few years and then when play changed to Rakuten UK they opened a store there.

I bought an iPad Air from these guys before Christmas. It was a brand new product but came with a 2 prong plug and a very iffy looking UK adapter. I ended up using all my Rakuten points to buy a proper UK 3 prong transformer, the site doesn't make it very clear that the product is not a UK item.
You have been warned.

At the bottom of the description it says "Imported units supplied with UK 3-pin adapters", while I would just throw out the adapter they ship it with (bound to be cheap), it doesn't cost much to get a replacement, I'm sure most people already have a USB plug charger from another phone/tablet..

What a way, you have over done it, no one needs to buy a transformer, it is not a normal nor smart way to get 5V DC charge. Additionally you need to read the tiny print on the Apple original plug label to see if it reads 100V-240V input voltage on it.
