MacBook Pro Advice

[ValeTudoGuy]

Does anyone have any tips for getting cheap Apple products or point me in the cheapest direction of a good but used MacBook Pro.

Ideally 2.5gig CPU or faster and Ideally 16gig ram.

If you know anyone who's at uni or college, you can get education discount. I think it's around15%.
If not..I know of a web address that mimics the uni campus address, to enable said discount..
I'm sorry to the mods if I'm flaunting forum rules, please delete this post if so.

Thanks guys Will check those out.

I'm doing an MSC, so I get the student discount if I can help.

[ValeTudoGuy]

thanks bud, I will let you know. Depends how quickly I can shift some stuff on as to when I can afford... That's why I'm trying to find the cheapest possible.

I bought mine second hand. I actually bought it on eBay and it was nearly new. Think I paid ?800 ish for it. I've had it over a year and never had any problems despite my rather er colourful web use [emoji16]

Try scrumpymacs or MacKing. Scrumpy is where I bought both my macbook pro and iMac for work. I use them for editing videos and they haven't let me down in 4 years.

My last couple have been via salary sacrifice at work, which can work favourably as I'd planned to stay past three years.

Prior to that I've had a couple of Macs from the Apple refurbished site and all have been great.

[ValeTudoGuy]

How does the salary sacrifice work? Is it like cycle to work?

Exactly, cycle to work is a salary sacrifice scheme

So my employer has to be signed up?

[Sligub]
