You're definitely not paying over the odds for the iPhone with all the features.
The HTC's are being sold cheaper to allow them more of the market share. If they sold at the same kinda price as Apple they'd struggle big time.
I've just seen Amazon are selling it at £888 so that's only an extra £30 or so more than buying it through Apple w/ 15% student discount.
I'd rather try the Apple route though and get the Applecare plan cheap too.
^^ Nice one dude.
One of my aff. marketing buddies just hit me up with a great link with loads of people stating their most used / fav programs / apps for the MBP.
I literally am buzzing to get this. Soon as my Dell refund clears I'm down the Apple store. Woooop.
Starting to think like this too after reading that 02 are gonna only allow existing customers at the start.
Will just have to see the progress this week leading up.
Returned the Dell today nice and easy. Was a bit worried after reading their T's & C's. However the original Wireless card driver was naff, only worked properly with me doing some tweaking so I reinstalled the original to make it s**t and said it was faulty. Job done haha.
Can't get the MBP...
Yeah I thought this. I just saw Tech Radar give it 3 1/2 out of 5 stars and was like WTF haha. Slander!
I prefer the compactness of 13" to. Dammit hurry up next week already!
I take it the 13" MBP is pretty damn good performance wise? Just reading a couple reviews from Tech Radar and the likes moaning that it didn't get a core i-series chip.
Yeah I'm a sucker for aesthetically pleasing stuff! :o
Damn can't wait for this now. If all goes to play.. MBP Tuesday + iPhone 4 Thursday.
Steve Jobs you cheeky b4rstad!
Ahhh awesome. Excited now haha! I'll just say she's the gf and it's a present. That should cut it right?
She's like my best mate. My actual gf is going to Uni this year but it must be easier to use somebody who's already been there and got all the paperwork etc.
Thanks for the tips guys!
Awesome.
So just to clarify.. I can do this at an Apple store?
I'll just take my friend from Uni and say she's my girlfriend or something to be more convincing. What will she need? Just some uni forms / identification?
I did have a problem with the Wireless card but I'm hoping I can just say I've decided I don't want it and that will be that.
In terms of this Apple uni thing.. is it a set 15% discount? Can I just go to my local Apple store with my friend from Uni and sort it out there? She'll just need her...
Whoa sweeet. 15% off certainly tempts me haha.
Now I just need to see if those bumlords at PC World will take this Dell back despite me setting it up and using it for a couple days. Only had it since Wednesday so they should refund me I hope! Then off to the Apple Store I go! :o
Sweet. How would that work exactly the uni thing? I've got a few mates back from Uni now so not a problem to do that. I'd probably want to pay on my credit card though would that still be possible? Or would I need to go cash for it to work best?
How much does AppleCare cost on the whole Uni...
Right. Damn Apple have got me thinking. I've just purchased a new Dell laptop, but I'm contemplating returning it in favour of a MBP.
The Dell is Core i3-330, 4GB ram and 500GB HD. Cost me £500.
I'm looking at the MBP on Apple now and the cheapest £999 one. Not sure how that model / specs...
My colleague at work has a friend who is deputy manager at my local 02. I'm trying to get some inside info haha. Just hoping I can be sure that they will have some in store on the 24th as I'll need either a day or half day off work to go get the thing!
Right let me see if I can make more sense now as I was tired / annoyed last night. I've switched the laptop on and ran through everything. When prompted I've assigned my wireless network which is obviously the network that was set up on my old laptop. So the net should work all fine going...
Well it found a network which I must have set up. Sometimes the net will connect and load up fine but often it doesn't which concerns me.
The Virgin Wireless thing isn't working.
It's Windows 7. If I look for the wireless network connections I have 'Simon' which is mine. But compared to...
