I'm saving up for an iMac and i don't think i will have enough to get one off Amazon, even after my birthday, which is this week.
So i need help to find one at least £200 cheaper than the Apple store one's.
Thankyou.:apple:
 
Hi, and welcome to the forums! Glad to see you will be soon turning to the light side!

Hmmm. Off the top of my head, the only option cheaper than the Apple Store would be eBay, but even that has its downsides. It may be cheaper, but it is risky. To be safe, I would just stick with the Apple website, look for refurbs, or try to claim a 6% educational discount. Does anyone else have any ideas? (UK by the way)

Apple's own refurb store is the only other thing I can think of. Fact is that apple controls the prices of their computers pretty tightly. You just don't see a lot of variation in prices. Here in the US, its often a good deal to buy of amazon.com as its a few bucks cheaper and you don't have to pay tax.
