Cheapest new MBP right now - where?

[koffiejunkie]

Pretty much what the subject says. Where in S.A. can one now get the cheapest MBP available, new? (old stock/model is cool).

Thanks

i'd try somewhere arb like Dion wired.. or incredible connection.. any of the "apple" stores would have caught on to the new pricing about will have adjusted their own pricing accordingly..

Quite sadly, Dion wired has the same prices as the ZA Store.

Incredibly deception too

what about www.pcint.co.za

 

[koffiejunkie]

I don't see any Macs on their website? Except for the cinema displays.

Aah, didn't see the link - they should fix their search function

 

[koffiejunkie]

Interesting - a few hundred cheaper. Saw R15707 and almost got excited, then I saw it was ex vat

I managed to get a Mac from Digicape at the old price, but I see they have updated all the prices now. The Mac Pro has gone from R27K to R37K in 3 weeks!!!

I'm glad I'm not doing sales.

40K for a Mac Pro... i think its time to hand in my Apple resignation (Long live core)

Yeah I'm starting to think it's not worth it anymore, too expensive and some of the new macbooks apparently have loose battery covers and slanted function keys.

So my macbook may be my first and last Apple.

Riiiiiiight ... because Core is ultimately responsible for the world wide economic crisis and the current exchange rate

But core's prices still don't add up, I would say on average they are pocketing R3000 at least.

And you can substantiate that? If that's true it means they are basically getting ipods for free

Common sense would suggest he's referring to the higher end computers/laptops

If you can prove to me that zastore's prices are fair compared to other parts of the world then I might give them the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks, yep that's what I'm referring too.

Then is +- 10% such a ridiculous mark-up?

I'm sorry but that's not acceptable. You may be rich and not see 10% as much but it is.
