Looking to buy a Mac, a printer, software or an electronic device ? Here are my recommendations:


Apple Store Education Web site

discount prices (about 8% off) for students and staff
on Macs, iPods and software

 


 

Apple also runs this excellent UK Web store for those not eligible for educational discount:
 

From 11am there is also a special Web clearance store with refurbished Macs, iPods and monitors at up to 45 per cent off. Be aware that this is based on the price when the old model was available - often newer models are actually cheaper than the old Mac's base price as well as faster and better featured. If you are eligible for student discount on a brand new Mac that is often a better choice.

Pugh - Education prices on software 01974 200201
www.pugh.co.uk You may need proof that you are on an official course to get these prices. The software is usually full-featured but at a discounted price. The main drawback is that there is normally no upgrade path for future versions - you have to pay full/education price for the next version rather than just an upgrade fee as you would with a commercial version. You should not use the educational version to produce commercial work.

Recommended shops local to Southampton, UK:

John Lewis Partnership 023 8021 6400

The second largest retailer of Macs in the UK, with a sales team that is properly informed.
John Lewis give a two year warranty where others give one - reassuring and may be worth far more than any saving you get in cash terms by going elsewhere. Will price match local competitors. Will treat you as a human unlike certain large computer stores. Worth asking if they have any second hand Macs available. Also sell Windows PCs.
