In related news, night will come at the end of the day

Says the brainwashed Microsoft fan above!.

Windows 10 is a massive step in the wrong direction for PCs. Unlike you, here's some proof to back up my claims:

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2449298/windows-10-is-now-the-second-most-popular-desktop-operating-system

Windows 7 - the best Microsoft Operating System by far - not this Windows 10 tablet O/S nonsense.

Taken from the terms and conditions

Looks life Apple fans are brainwashed. For £600 you can get a decent Surface. With IOS you ll never get the level of functionality or a windows os. Yes, it is not flawless but it has 90% of the market. But apple fans only want nice polished design

Had to send it back in the end, they are shipping me a new one, hopefully this will have a full 12 month warranty

Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Thanks for the link - just checked mine and 1 year warranty expires March 30, 2017 as expected.

Just sent an email to pixel and they seem just as perplexed. They have asked me to send them the serial number so they can chase up the supplier.

Mine shows that the warranty expires on the 30th Dec 2016, it also shows that the free 90 days telephone complimentary services has expired

Very weird mines had a purchase date with Apple that matched the despatch date, and was no problem to register AppleCare+

:confused: Definitely take it up with Pixel Electronics and let us know what happens. That's shocking if they've sold you a second hand iPad. Others should probably look into it too.

Yep and they said my iPad is now 3rd party and should seek redress from the seller as 2 months of warranty has already been used.

Did you provide proof of purchase to Apple?

Tried to register for Apple care+ but been told by apple that the Serial number was registered on the 29th Jan meaning the warranty has already started although i purchased it on the 30th march

Received my iPad Pro yesterday. Malaysian build. Lovely piece of kit.

Got my points. Purchased a PS4 for £120 after the points. I'm an xbox man myself but will just play the new uncharted game on it when released. Could not think what else to purchase!

Got the points today, which is 8 days after dispatch per what they had said. Not sure what to use them all for..

My order has gone from awaiting dispatch to delayed :disappointed:
They also updated my address but entered the wrong postcode. Emailed them this morning for them to change it.....Not a sausage. I don't suppose anyone has a number for them?

There was a small flickering at the top of the screen, tiny in size but i pressed on it and the whole thing cracked. Swapped with new one ar Apple today.

Sorry mate this deal has expired, You will only get £31 :disappointed:

With the code March15 it comes to £560 and 3100 points, which is £31, how do you get £124 of points? Do they multipled later?

I got mine yesterday. Malaysian version. Its sweet though, my ipad air 1st gen looks poor in comparison!

By the way, recommend you all get the 29W charger. I also got a £6 USB-C to Lightening cable on Amazon instead of the £25 official one. It is way better than the standard charger, they should have included the 29W charger from the start

From a legal point of view, there's certainly an obligation of the seller to replace or refund.. But going through Apple would very likely be faster. Probably a 72 hour turnaround.

On the other hand, Apple's replacement would be a refurb. Not sure I'd be happy with that, if I paid for brand new.

You should have gone back to seller.

What was wrong with it?

Arrived today. Already booked in with Apple as screen is knackered.

My order has been posted too, I believe we don't get the points until 14 days after delivery so you cannot return it to the seller after you have spent the points.

Just ordered mine, they are having a 15% sale at the moment but the discount is capped at £60

Do we have to wait for the seller to manually mark an order as delivered before we get the rakuten points? As there is no shipping information beyond "shipped" I assume that we can't mark the order as delivered ourselves.

Ok cheers :smiley:

It's a Malayasian retail version but does not make a difference warranty wise. Comes with uk plug as they use same plugs as us

Nice one, still waiting but I will get it eventually. What is Malaysian SKU?, not bothered, just wondering :smiley:

Ooh was going to order 9.7 Pro but this deal makes the 12.9" a real contender for similar money..........

too

many

choices!

There is a 15% off sale on there as well at the moment which makes it even better.

Got my points for this today - will be using them towards that Xbone deal effectively getting it for around £102 - :smiley:

Yes it is FedEx Next Day

The delivery they use seems to be next day so if its due to arrive on Friday you won't get a dispatch confirmation until sometime on Thursday.

I emailed and they got back to me saying should be with me Friday, except it's still showing as 'delayed'

Just arrived very impressed. Malaysian SKU but with UK plug and all shrink wrapped. Superb price

Emailed them and they got back in about an hour saying sorry and it will get dispatched ASAP and I will get it sometime this week, they said that during the promotion period there was alot of orders so that's why it been delayed, fair enough I suppose

Dispatched finally!

Hopefully sent out today, I bet they were/are on their way from HK before they reach us

Yea mine is delayed too, I will give them the benefit of the doubt though because it's easter weekend (Sunday today) hopefully be dispatched soon:)

Got this one, seems well built
Pasonomi® iPad Pro Tablet Holder Stand, Multi-Angle Aluminum Stand for iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 / 1, iPad Mini and Samsung Tablets, kindle tablets (Silver) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0192P4Q94/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_MHb-wbEVP3PAT

Order shows as delayed now, I assume that is because it's went past the ship by date

I know can't wait! Went into Apple Store yesterday to check it out. Cover, pencil and a stand awaits its arrival.....

The reply I had did say once they ship it will arrive the following day, and it did.

Patience padawans, it'll turn up in all it's glory :smiley:

Nope, I emailed them before and they said it would be with us on Tuesday so assumed it would have shipped by now :disappointed:

Still waiting for mine to be shipped too

Same, although apparently all being sent today. I have bought a pen and case ready. Will probably buy the 39w charger as well, not sure on keyboard yet

Mine still says 'awaiting dispatch' since Monday.

What a shame I've been toying with the idea of buying a pro 128gb but somehow missed this deal. Anyone know the likely hood of them doing this deal anytime soon?

To those who managed to snag one enjoy

Nice one, is it a HK model then?

Haha yea same:D

Mine came today after emailing them yesterday. It was for a birthday so I asked if it could be shipped sooner, they replied within minutes and it got shipped. Absolutely fantastic :smiley:

Has anyone's shipped yet?

After taking the vat out and taking all codes TCB and including Rakuten points
Works out about £370.00 for the 128gb

Inevitably I'm going to have to revisit it (W10) as W7 end of life will likely come round all too quickly - even if end of extended support does seem far away currently at January 2020. In fact I better revisit it on a spare drive fairly soon while it's a free upgrade :stuck_out_tongue:

God dammit. I actually was going to jump for one of these. Good deal, could have got a few quid ebaying my old ipad 3 as well.

Code expired?

Code aint working anymore.

I didn't have issues with 8 and above. Now on 10, some of the changes I don't agree with but the OS is just as functional as 7. If not more so.

AsŚwwww

It's not that the tech is outdated ...it's probably just me :stuck_out_tongue:

Today is a good day to announce publicly on hukd that you're not a fan of Windows 10.....or not :stuck_out_tongue:

I stand by it; in my humble opinion Windows 10 is another fail as a Windows desktop PC o/s. Windows 7 ain't broke so god knows why they felt they needed to fix, first with the abysmal Windows 8 and then the better but still maligned Windows 10.

The difference between me and that other chap is I'm not going to give anyone abuse for disagreeing with me and stating that they like Windows 10. Everyone is different and it'd be a dull world if we all thought the same.

Won't let me order :disappointed:

Ordered OP, Cheers, both windows and apple are good. But cant help but think some (i repeat some) people **** off apple just because its apple and they haven't actually used there products. Yes it is in most cases more expensive. But they are incredibly smooth and reliable devices imo. Anyway cheers OP

Great find OP and great deal. If they had the pencil or smart keyboard case in stock at Rakuten to later spend the points balance on I'd bit for sure....

Just ordered a 128gb space grey, I was going to get the new 9.7" version but having just found out the smaller version has half the ram and a lower clocked processor so this seamed like a steal considering it is about a £100 cheaper too.

Needed to order some filming equipment and managed to get a price match after deducting the points value through a reputable filming/broadcast sales company - Superb!

Thanks OP! At this price it's a no brainer for me, have now listed my Wacom 13HD Hybrid and iPad Air 2 on eBay :smiley:

Don't forget one of these from Amazon
MOFRED® Black Ultra Slim New Apple iPad Pro (Launched 2015) Leather Case Cover, Full Protection Smart Cover for iPad Pro 12.9" 7th Generation With Magnetic Auto Wake & Sleep Function + Screen Protector + Stylus Pen (iPad Pro, Black)

Mate. You do realised you've typed this for the whole world to see?
That Windows 10 has gone "back" to the traditional start menu style of 7 without it being full screen like Win8?
You do appreciate the miracle that is the WinRT underpinnings of now Xbox, PC and Phone? (And what an amazing software engineering feat that is?)

Go ahead and sl4g off that anti Apple plonker, that's all fair game.
But to then do exactly the same thing minutes later... that's mad. Besides if you really do think Win7 is better than Win10 - then they do a very white jacket that does up at the back for you :smiley:

Reviews: https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/rakuten.co.uk

Bit at this price. 128gb space grey. The old never never gets another battering!

Got excited and ordered without code.....sent email and pixel electronics cancelled order within 10mins. Impressed. Ordered with code. Thanks.

And TCB 3.67%

how the hell is that proof of anything? its just says people haven't upgraded to windows 10...

edit: as people have already said - that'll teach me to read the rest of the crap in a thread :stuck_out_tongue:

You do realise that source doesn't prove sh*t... All it says that Windows 10 is the second most popular OS. Nowhere does it state that it is a step backwards. If you really want to see why people have not upgraded to Windows 10 and therefore why windows 7 is better, you have to ask Windows 7 users

I was like...



:laughing:

Apple iPad Pro WiFi 32GB Gold, A

Computing / Apple iPad
WeSell for £570.00
WeBuy for £370.00

That's awful resell price.

U both are brainwashed consumers....just stop buying outdated tech that's sold as "new tech" :laughing:

Thanks for posting :innocent:

:laughing:

Ordered. I wanted a 9.7" but I think owning a 6s Plus, the larger screen is better

This is a good deal for this model! I might wait for the new one to go on special.... the 12 inch screen is glorious, just a little large for me!

An updated iPad pro version will come at the end of the year.

But with that level of functionality comes a need for a higher level of technical competence.

I prefer W10 to iOS, I prefer the Surface line to the iPad line BUT I still recognise that my needs differ from my wife's or my kids. I need access to File Explorer, I need access to GoG and Steam and I need access to a printer. My wife on the other hand just needs to download Netflix and iPlayer. The more options you give her the greater the liklihood she is going to screw things up or need my help.

Just because someone like's a different product doesn't mean they are brainwashed, that product just suits their needs sufficiently that they don't need to look elsewhere.

Where do you put the code in? I cant see to find the pox to chuck the discount code in?

Ignore him. I think he's just bored. Easter hols, no school, nothing to do.

This has been in the description since I submitted the deal


The newer model isn't available to order until Friday and won't release until the 31st of March too. The 32GB 9.7 model will be £499 making this over RRP which pretty much makes it clear, this has to be the 12.9 model, doesn't it? :wink:

Of course, I see now, it is £799 for the bigger one. May be useful OP if you heeded to "rodman" question on your post and put its size in your information and title.

This is the 12.9, not the 9.7 inch.

Cold it's not Apple. Wait it is - warm then. Although wasn't this the company that took over play.com years ago. I wouldn't touch them again missed orders, didn't give refunds.... Although maybe they are ok now.

No, that's the newer, smaller version. Check again...

Well if you only quote half a sentence.. wait, why am I replying to you?

Splender... Apple are selling it for £799...

You typed, "Your maths is nearly as bad as your English. The item was £725. That's how much I paid. I then got £25.37 back as Quidco", so you just saved £25.

Your maths is nearly as bad as your English. The item was £725. That's how much I paid. I then got £25.37 back as Quidco and £145 back as credit to spend at Rakuten. 725-25.37-145=554.63. 799-554.63=244.37. Sorry if it's confusing.

I bought an iPad Pro 128gb from Pixel Electronics via Rakuten a couple of months back. I paid £725 less £25.37 Quidco (already paid out) less £145 to spend at Rakuten (14,500 points already received and spent) = £554.63 total, for an item that is £799 everywhere else. A whopping £244.37 saving.

A point to note - the device I received was brand new and sealed, but it was a Malaysia grey import. It's identical to UK stock and comes with a UK plug (the standard in Malaysia). Full 1 year international warranty with Apple. Eligible to buy AppleCare to extend warranty if required.

Pixel Electronics are themselves a UK company based somewhere down south, as I recall. They were quick to reply to emails and rushed my order as I needed it fast, without charging me extra and were very helpful. Big thumbs up!

been looking for ipad pro for a while as my battery on my old ipad 3 is done. £663 with voucher IPADS applied, then 145 worth of points to spend and £20 odd quid from topcashback brings this to just under £500 if rakuten points taken into consideration. When sold on apple for £799 how can this not be smoking hot.

I have SP3 for about 18 months.
Used to be a loyal apple fan, had iphone 4s, ipad mini, ipad 4, macbook pro, iMac.
sold iphone 4s, ipad mini, ipad 4 to get surface pro 3.
Still have macbook pro 17, and iMac.

Didn't really use surface pro 3 much, still mainly using my iMac.
for resell value, surface pro 3 is rubbish, comparing with ipad pro.
ipad pro at this price, you can practically use it for free for a year.

Which pro? 9.7 inch or 12.9 inch?

Anybody read reviews about Rakuten? Nightmare company, selling items when have nothing in stock.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Heat added biddy..thought I was seeing things when I saw a deal from you :laughing:

So this is actually £620 cash and you get some points that you can use to buy stuff from rakuten with..... To hardly cashback so stating its £558 for the iPad Pro is pretty misleading. It's a decent deal of the points are of use to you but most would only be interested if this was actually a £558 iPad Pro

Come on dude, I'm a hardcore windows user and even I can admit that W10 makes for a god awful mobile interface. I own an ipad and it does everything I need on a mobile device, and it does it really well. Plus it's three years old and still works absolutely perfectly... Even the battery lasts well over a day! I've been using it for half an hour with the brightness down, and it hasn't even budged from 100%. Now THATS impressive!
If I need something more flexible, I use my PC, simple.

Other than Windows RT, that's totally true.

Subjective indeed, MS forced the Win10 update on my machine and I had to roll it back due to massive performance degradation, I knew why but I can imagine the frustration for people not IT savvy. If iPad and tablets are so popular in general it's people don't want to be bothered with PCs

Honestly, "the best OS" is a very subjective thing. I like Windows 10 far more than Windows 7. Why the updates are not happening is the fact that most people don't want to bother to update something that works well and just want an "out of the box experience", an emphasis on most of course. Also with it being advertised as "free" people don't want to buy it. Honestly I find it to be the best windows so far, simply because they polished it before release, I updated/installed on about 5 PC's and it works flawlessly.

Also if you have a touch enabled device it is far better than Windows 7 and simply said it is often faster and simpler to use the touch screen rather than the mouse (I have laptops in mind here).

About the ads and tracking issue, you are welcome to disable everything...

Also Surface has no "tablet" version of Windows but the full one as any laptop and that is far more usable than a mac in the term of available software and not even comparable to ios.

My point is the new smaller iPad pro currently better value. Better specs: camera, display,... 169£ cheaper than the bigger one.

Brilliant piece of kit, with the pencil it can replace more expensive drawing tablets, just for that it's worth it

Oh and before you get on that high horse; yes it's done well out of the gate getting so much take up...but let's not forget...they had to give it away free.

I bet Linux fans are laughing their socks off :stuck_out_tongue:

Says the brainwashed Microsoft fan above!.

Windows 10 is a massive step in the wrong direction for PCs. Unlike you, here's some proof to back up my claims:

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2449298/windows-10-is-now-the-second-most-popular-desktop-operating-system

Windows 7 - the best Microsoft Operating System by far - not this Windows 10 tablet O/S nonsense.

Coming up as £620

this is amazing deal! How can I use the Rakuten points? Can I buy a ipad pen?

That's a shame... Plenty of cases available for them mind so could put the points towards one of those :smile:

Unfortunately, either pencil or keyboard cover is for sale on Rakuten.
But still, smoking HOT deal!

Thanks Chanchi :smiley:
