Portent 0 Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Just a heads up. This is apparently a one-day special while stock lasts. It's on a few forums: Base model Macbook Air 13 (1.3ghz i5 processor, 4gb RAM, 128gb SSD) for £699 (£250 discount). This is the new model with the Haswell processor and the HD5000 graphics. http://www.play.com/stores/SpencerMann/listing/816115270 EDIT: 12 hours battery life :D Edited September 2, 2013 by Portent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted September 2, 2013 IS that a genuine offer? Sorely tempted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 2, 2013 That's even cheaper than I can get with my academic discount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 2, 2013 I wouldn't pay £700 for a 13" mac, let alone the £1000 rrp! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 2, 2013 I wouldn't pay £700 for a 13" mac, let alone the £1000 rrp! To each his own :) The hardware is overpriced, no doubt about it.. but Apple's excellent customer service, and OS X make it somewhat more worthwhile! The Air isn't a terrible deal either when you factor in the seriously top rate SSD is in the Haswell version (PCIe based.. mega, mega quick). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 2, 2013 Phone and tablet pricing I can stomach, but for some reason their desktop and laptop prices seem like a p1ss take. Especially that mac mini! This Hasbeen thing sounds interesting though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted September 2, 2013 Showing as £900 on that link. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 2, 2013 Deals over it seems! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portent 0 Posted September 2, 2013 Yes deal now over. It was genuine as far as I could tell. I tried to buy it but due to Lloyds TSB cocking up my card it was declined 7 times. Genuine screw up by the bank and I spent most of the afternoon on the phone to them. Annoyed! At that price it is actually quite cheap compared to similar products.
