Why 2012? End of ze world?

 

[Revels]

I'm on my iPad 2 ATM but I want a iMac 27". This is a temptation but then I think abiout the long convo I had at work about not borrowing money in 2012. Grr.

It's 2011. HTH.

 

[Mr Pants]

I'm pretty tight on cash currently and unlikely to have much disposable income for the next few months.

Could somebody therefore please tell me it is not practical to get an iMac and sell my Macbook Pro. The temptation is strong.

/AppleWhore

 

[Will.]

It is not practical. That help?

 

[jonzz]

But I'd be boring the money in 2012 bros.

 

[CountryBumpkin.]

so tempted

 

[jacko_172]

[jacko_172]

?? oh im looking at this http://www.next.co.uk/g85178s2#821696g85 would i need a micro sim to use that ???

 

[DB.]

iPad with WIFI - No phone contract.
iPad with WIFI and 3G - Need a phone contract to use the 3G aspect. (Internet on the move rather than connecting to wifi )

Nope.

Wifi only.

That doesn't say 3G, but is priced like one.

16gb with wifi - £400 from Apple.
16gb with wifi and 3G. £500 from Apple

 

[jacko_172]

[Hugo-]

I may just have to place that order for the iMac 21" I keep meaning to.

Or apparently you can simply connect to your iPad2 with no WIFI to your iPhone4 via 'tendering' then r4pe the 3G on that instead ...

An Apple geek will probably confirm/deny shortly ...

 

[AK]

'personal hotspot'

 

[Will.]

I used 9gb in around 2 weeks at home doing that for my laptop as o2 fucked my broadband up. Then got completely cut off. Rang up to complain as it was because they had fucked my broadband up and they said they cannot uncut me until my next bill date as it's all automated now. c***s.

 

[Sir_Dave]

'personal hotspot'

So why would you want a 3G iPad then? Seems a little pointless having 2 phone contracts?

 

[Tom]

Why would you buy an ipad from next?

 

[AK]

This is true.

Most charge more for personal hotspot, so it depends what the total cost would be including hotspot fees.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Im with O2, not sure if that makes any difference?

The urge to get an iPad is getting stronger btw ...

 

[Tom]

O2 don't charge if you are on the latest tarrif, but you'd destroy your data allowance.

 

[aucky]

Hmm, dont need an Ipad really, but £50 a month over 10 months is pocket change tbh ...

Must. Resist.

Same boat here.
iPad 3. 0% credit card, sorted

 

[J12 WYT]

Can this 0% be done instore and can you use student discount on the iPad2?

 

[Tom]

Go to a retail store and ask?

http://storeimages.apple.com/1836/store.apple.com/Catalog/uk/Images/consumer-finance-NOV2011-terms.pdf

T&C's say no to in store but yes to the online edu store. (and ipads arent discounted)

 

[AK]

Do it.

My laptops been shelved since I got my iPad.

 

[DB.]

Tom - Check the edu link i put in JP's thread from yest. It seemed to make the iPad about £16 cheaper.

 

[Tom]

Yeah Uni links dont support the finance deal.

 

[MaLicE]

I got my stepdad a iPad 2 last month over the phone from apple and got edu discount on it.

 

[J12 WYT]

How much discount was it?

 

[Adam.]

Yeah Uni links dont support the finance deal.

They give you the option to finance it at the checkout.....?

 

[Revels]

MBA. Done.

Merry Christmas to me.

 

[Tom]

They give you the option to finance it at the checkout.....?

So it does.

Still £429 minimum spend.

 

[LIL B]

I left my ipad at the checkout in saved basket.

Got a phone call a week later from sales, £90 off. Boom.

Phone sales are still on comission... deals to be had if you're a del boy.

 

[Sir_Dave]

O2 don't charge if you are on the latest tarrif, but you'd destroy your data allowance.

Ah cool. Is a work iPhone so i dont care that much (we have huge data allowances), but dont want to take the pi55 lol ....

Is a weird one really, in all seriousness, the only thing i would use an iPad for is to come on CS, via Tapatalk (but on a bigger screen than my phone) and not sure if thats worth 400 quid

 

[LIL B]

Oh and if you can get onto Apple Online store on a university campus, you can get the 15% as well as 10 months interest free credit.

 

[SamP]

50 quid a month for an iPad. Massively tempting.

 

[kpowell911]

If you are on three with a One Account you get 2GB personal Teethering hotspot included.

The rare times Im not on wifi on my iPad 2(none 3G) I just connect to this
