Hi there. I have saved up some cash and am planning on getting my first ever Mac gear (baring the iPods I have owned over the years) after WWDC.
I plan to buy over the phone or on the net, what I want to know is do Apple Reps (the UK ones) on the phone do better prices than they do on their website? I know that might sound a bit cheeky but if I can save a little bit of cash I might as well try.
I know Apple is not the same company but I was always told if I found a PC I liked and called Dell they would lower the price when compared to their online stores price. So I tried this a few times and they always offered a discount.
I having waiting for years to switch over and now I think I might as well do it and get all the stuff I want in one lump. I know Apple does education discounts but I am no longer a student.
The Apple stuff I want to buy is (although it may change if spec is changed at WWDC but assuming nothing is changed):
1 Mac Mini - SuperDrive, 2GB RAM
1 MBP - 15" Glossy Screen, 3GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 256MB Graphics Card
1 Airport Extreme
1 23" Apple Cinema Display
1 Airport Express (to connect my Xbox 360 into so it works with the Airport Extreme)
1 Apple TV - 160GB version
