Sounds a little "too good" to me.
Where is this from?
At the current exchange, that works out to about $715 US. That is less than half of what the base 20" goes for in the US. I would steer clear of it if I were you.

It is a reputable company...Apple themselves!!!

If you're in Education (As I am) you get it cheaper - and that is what is known as "The complete package".

You've got your exchange rate back to front - US$ should be MORE than GBP. According to xe.com, 1350GBP = 2909USD.

Hehe, I just now noticed that... I am a dork. :black:


You have to admit, if it was $715 US it would seem kinda shady.

It'd be the kind of deal I'd expect to see on ebay, shipped from Hong Kong, Western Union money transfer only, that's for sure :)

*sigh*

can you PLEASE explain to me how in the world (mac world, that is!) you managed to get a lower price in USD when the GBP is doing MUCH better than the USD?! I'm lost here. Unless you mean, that's about $3,000 is what I'm thinking, you probably switched that around.

That's an amazing deal, though. Any educational discount is good.

BUT, if you're willing to spend that money, go with a Mac Pro. You'll get more power, unless of course you don't NEED the power.
