What kind of reductions are there going to be tomorrow in the uk? On the market for a macbook. Any one care to guess? Cheers. :)

I'm actually wondering myself :) Hopefully they'll offer us something juicy and maybe (HIGHLY doubtful) the savings can be applied to education discounts as well. If that happened my bank balance would take a huge plummet :(

I wonder what time the apple store will be updated? Midnight? I want to check the deals before I go to bed hehe.

The discounts don't apply in the edu store, so for once it's cheaper to buy your MB the normal way (with the discount)... crazy!

Yep. I better wait until this evening though, cos i decided to do a best offer of a blackbook (£720) on ebay. Just for a laugh. :D

:( Was just checking prices at the Education store - still cheaper to buy computers through there (at least through my network it is). Oh well.

Babelfish - if you're on a proper edu lan, it could be - I was referring to the 'open' edu store.

Oooh I see my mistake. Just wondering, if I went to an Apple store (actually, in the UK the only Apple Store) and brought some proof that I'm a university student, would I get the same education discount that I would if I ordered off the Apple Higher Education store?

I hate waiting for things to arrive in the post :)

MacBook C2D 'blackbook' with 2Gb ram should arrive tomorrow. Actually would have arrived today but we postponed it as we knew we'd be out. Excited! Parallels already ordered & downloaded, looking forward to this!!!
