Apple 0% financing....

[eugegall]

Depends on the product.

I shall state categorically I don't want your tracking number, and don't want anything before it arrives in your hands.

I'm just curious about the steps taken in the delivery process.

Ok mate I'll let you know when I know.

I have specced it up slightly so not sure if that adds to the delivery time.

 

[Deeg]

It depends.

If it's just adding RAM, then it will be part of the stock they hold, if it's a weird spec, then it might be built.

Cheers Eugeall, much appreciated.

 

[DB.]

Deeg - Are you curious because it's Apple and what they are doing, or in terms of international logistics?

 

[Deeg]

Both.

I basically want to see if it's changed in the last few years since I ordered mine.

Pretty tragic I know.

Properly tempted by this again, got an Air on it 2 years ago, but then swapped about bought a Pro.
Really fancy a new 13" top spec, be nice to get back to an SSD.

If I bought one, is there an easy way to transfer all of my info over to the new one so it's exactly the same? I have Parallels running Windows XP but swapping it all over is a right pain in the arse so don't really fancy doing it that way if I can just plug it in like you do with a new phone…?

I've had my current MBP for over 3 years and won't be restoring onto my new one. I feel like it needs to be a clean start.

Thanks dude.
So with that, I can literally do a proper imprint of my whole computer on the new one, so passwords, files etc will be on there? Including Parallels, as that's a £70 program to buy etc….if so I might buy one tonight…!

I'm more a Windows man tbh but yeah 100% will do your files, I would imagine it will do your passwords as well. Parallels migration is here http://kb.parallels.com/en/114118 unsure on licensing though!

Get a new mac ordered

 

[Pep]

Dude you're a beauty!
Just need to speak to the boss tomorrow to clear it with him, and I'll end up with a £1500 MacBook Pro for under £900, bargain!

Sometimes parallels can be laggy if the virtual machine is created on a difference machine :dead:

How, JoePeps? Also eugegall how did you order your MBP for so little? The edu discount doesn't bring mine down that far?

 

[Rob]

Yeah I'd like to know that too. I'm thinking of taking advantage of the 0%'er.

 

[eugegall]

I went for the cheaper 2.0Ghz model and upgraded to the 3.5Ghz for only £85. It should make a noticeable difference. Also went for the 16gb instead of the standard 8gb.

Yes, but how did you get FIVE HUNDRED pounds discount?

 

[eugegall]

Did i? Oh. lol

 

[Gray]

I think @JoePeps claims the tax back through his business... I can remember something from a few years ago.

I am also doing this!!!

 

[Rob]

I am also doing this!!!

Buy me one too then, sort you out with cash

 

[M@tt_182]

Is it worth going for the Macbook Pro with Retina display or spec up a standard Macbook Pro? I'll be keeping it for a long time and using it for light photo/video editing. I've also never owned one before so it'll be a big change!

Definitely go for the retina.

Go for the best spec you can possibly afford.

 

[Pep]

How, @JoePeps? Also @eugegall how did you order your MBP for so little? The edu discount doesn't bring mine down that far?

I think on his screenshot it's shooing the price without VAT, as I thought the same last night and tried to check!

Correct, I can cheat a little and save the VAT and Income Tax/NI by being a bit clever, so gives me a nice saving again!
Ran out of time today but think I'm going to order tomorrow!

 

[eugegall]

Anyone had a delay in getting their stuff. It took two days to get the approval email from Barclays but still its not been shipped. Maybe due to the custom spec but still

 

[withoutabix]

My Air isn't due to arrive til the 13-17th, I also had a delay due to shipping address being different to billing...

 

[john182rs]

I ordered mine last Monday and I have been told it will be delivered this Monday, awesome!

 

[MrDave]

f**k. Want an ipad air. Already got mbp retina that doesn't get used much. :/

 

[497adam]

Can you do it in store? The 0% that is

 

[Ads_172]

Ordered via 0% finance last night and got application approved there and then online. Order status hasn't changed yet though - still awaiting payment.

 

[MrDave]

No

 

[ColinG]

Everywhere is doing it at the moment, currys / PC world, apple resellers etc

They all doing 0% for 10 months, id rather sign in store and walk out with it, unless speccing one up a bit

Give it a couple of days matey, Mine said for delivery between the 13th and the 20th 3 days after application, the 4th day it announced that it would be delivered 4 days sooner than the 13th (9th) so you still might get it alot sooner than you think.

 

[Ads_172]

That's cool, I'm not time precious but sooner the better with these things as always! As long as the process works in as much as Barclays definitely 'pay' Apple and my order doesn't go missing then I'm happy.

 

[Vincec79]

I ordered a Mini Retina through their finance, done the order on the 2nd, had the acceptance on the 3rd, confirmation of order from apple on the 4th and dispatch notification on the 6th. Supposedly won't turn up until the 16th though

 

[jam.]

Ok, this is going to sound really stupid...

I've decided to treat myself to a MBP for my birthday, so have gone though the whole process - got to the finance part and the last step is asking if I've got a debit card. I obviously have; but I was intending on whacking this on an un-used credit card just to keep it separate. Is that actually doable or am I being utterly retarded?

Ok so you're putting the INTEREST FREE credit through probably a high charging credit card.

Yes CONFIRMED: RETARDED!!!

 

[DrR]

Guessing you pay the finance off by direct debit, so will probably need a debit card, which a credit card is not.

It's a 0% interest card actually. But thanks for the concern.


No mither, on the debit card it goes.
