I'm currently deciding on purchasing a macbook, from either ZAstore or Digicape, but ZAstore and Digicape seem to have false advertising problems.

ZAstore shows a preview of leopard with the macbook yet advertises Tiger and iLife 06 whereas Digicape advertises iLife 08 with a preview showing Tiger but does not state which OS.

I've sent an email to ZAstore last week but still have not received a reply...
Is this the best representation Apple has in SA? :sick:

Edit:
I got confirmation from Digicape that some Macbooks still have Tiger installed but ship with the OSX Leopard and iLife08 Discs... Still no reply from ZAStore.

All new macs should ship with leopard by now and definitely with iLife 08.
 
Hi, wait a week or two and the new 4th generation Macbooks with the faster santa rosa architecture will be available in SA. Prices should be the same as the current 3rd generation ones ... may even be lower. Make sure to ask before you buy. The way to tell apart is 1. the speed 2.0 and 2.2 ghz, and more importantly 2. the graphics chip with an intel gma X3100 and 144 MB shared memory.

The old one 3 rd generation one is shoen on ZA store and Digicape.

Thanks, I have to wait for my new card to arrive anyway before I purchase :)

Unfortunately we are stuck with these useless idiots in SA.

Apple SA is much better than Dell SA. The 'idiots' you refer to
are top notch customer support reps compared to the people
who work for Dell SA. I'm still dealing with their nonsense - 4 weeks
down the line.
 
Damn..

if only I hadn't bought that LCD Tv recently I'd snap that up in a second...

Oh well...
 
It's a good price, but I prefer the portability of the macbook's 13" screen.
 
I don't agree, I have had good service from them - orders delivered w/i 48 hours and there is no delivery fee.
 
Yeah, I've decided to purchase from Digicape rather, they've responded to all my queries unlike ZAstore who have been MIA for 2 weeks now since I sent them a query.

Aren't they meant to be the official reseller?
