ZA store updated.

B@$t@rd$

That's not all... check the >R500 a@$-raping they've added to the upgraded macmini. There's no justifying these prices, particularly since apple seem to have made a concerted effort to bring in the entry level iMac at under $1000.
 
Surely the price changes can be as a result of the weaker R-$ exchange rate? I don't know what the prices were, so I might be wrong
 
I did a quote on the MacBook Pro last week .... :eek:
Freaking expensive!!!

I also don't like the fact that you can customise very little... :(
 
ZA store is not an Apple store ... they are the official S.A distributors so they can charge anything they want and obviously the Mac geeks working in ad agencies are a rather a well heeled lot.

They also distribute to virtually all the other resellers which means they can control everyone else's pricing - sound familiar?

Apple need to get an official presence here in SA but you can rest assured that will be protested.
 
Depends on the reseller agreement they have with Zastore. Resellers always charge a premium here in SA and it sucks.
 
Well the ZA store have always been quite a bit cheaper than the rest as far as I could see. Their retail outlet is the Waterfront shop in Cape Town.

Expect a bigger markup at the smaller stores like Digicape and Project3.

The 24" has a better spec....

Well that makes sense - they're the country's primary importer. The majority of the other's buy from them and so you'd expect their prices to be slightly lower. Just like Telkom 'buying' their bandwidth from SAIX.

So which would be a better bet, 24" iMac or the MacPro?

Depends - what do you want to do with it. The iMac is a good consumer product the Mac Pro is directed at professionals.
 
So the best place would then be to buy from the ZA store then, not so?

Anyone have a URL for doing a spec on a Macbook Pro on ZA store?
 
Sies man!! moenie so lelik met my wees nie!! :D

antwoord my in die ander garing waar ek vra wat is jou specs op jou 25K MBP...

dankie skattie :D
 
Ooohh lyk my KD het 'n seksuele awakening gehad, hy skattie vir oom Landy links en regs ;) dis cool, dis cool, ek sal wil sien hoe lyk julle kinders eendag.
 
I was disappointed they kept the 20" model the same apart from the processor.

It needs a better graphics card like the 24" has and that Superdrive is very troublesome. Apple customer forum is full of grumbles about it.

Apple seems to listen to customers but they respond far too late. A lot of people have been waiting for an update for the 20" (& the 17" I suppose). They waited for a long time but this release is disappointing.
 
ZAstore charges approx R4000 for the new 80GB Ipod, Apple charges $350 (*7.5) ZAstore is ripping us off BIG TIME!.
B@stards!!
