I bought mine from the Apple shop in london and ended up with quite a big discount. I have a Mac Pro which i used to use for my photography and also have a macbook pro.
You wont regret the move :happy2:

I have seen the bootcamp which is good I thought.
So best to try to buy direct from apple rather than comet, currys etc. :happy2:

Sure they are expensive but well worth it.
In terms of where to buy - official site as good as anywhere, don't think there are real discounts to be had anywhere and at least from there you know you are getting the latest version.

If you purchase from Apple direct (that includes the Apple retail stores), then you will get the student discount. I did it that way! I think i got about 17% off which was definitely worth having!

Cheers guys. I had a look at the student discount but when I clicked on college student it says my ip address is not allowed! :confused:

Another point to consider with Mac's is that they are a bit like the GTI - expensive to buy in the first instance but cracking resale values when you decide to upgrade!

Get a Mac Pro and you don't need to upgrade for a few years :happy2:

I was born in Macdom with the original Bondi Blue Babe iMac in 1998 (still got it!). I've now got a dual G5 desktop but it's not working and I'm planning to get the new 27" iMac maxed out cos I run Logic Studio (pro music sequencer/editor) but I keep spending my money on trips to the Noodleburgering!
I bought a MacBook Pro 17" for my daughter last year and got the student discount. Easiest is to visit an Apple Store with your student letter of acceptance or proof of attendance. Lots of savings to be had if you sweet talk the Apple genius genie.
Always buy the max spec you can afford - It'll last you longer.
I'm 'speaking' to you from my daughter's 17" G4 iMac (which used to be mine).
We'll soon have 5 Macs in the house!
