Discounted MacBook Pro at Getmac

MacBook ProFancy the latest Intel Core Duo powered MacBook Pro (which I mentioned on my blog)? The cheapest I can find in Australia (except maybe eBay) is from Getmac (formally AppleCart which I reviewed here).

They sell the base model (1.67Ghz Intel Core Duo 15.4″ 512Mb/80Gb) for AUD$3007.06, plus standard delivery of $7.50. Quite a bit of saving from other resellers and Apple Store, who sells at RRP of $3199 (+ delivery for some). Not sure about the EDU price — can someone confirm whether it’s still a good deal?

    Hi Guys, thanks for the write up,

    Unfortunately, we cant offer an EDU yet but were working on it. If you give us a call and mention this site will take another 1% off the total.

    :)

    thanks again.
