Hi!
Just a quick tip that worked for me. I recently bought a 15-inch rMBP (1,600) and needed to think of something fast to avoid my parents' rampaging. I live at home and I remember them going a bit insane when I first received my £900 Dell so I knew I'd be be risking death with this rMBP but I needed a new computer and wanted to try a Mac this time around.
I knew my sister had a MacBook Air but it only cost £800 so I phoned her and told her to tell my parents it cost over £1,000 and within minutes of me ringing her, my mum asked my dad to ring my sister and ask how much hers had cost. A few gasps and shocked faces later, I'm still alive and my rMBP is due to arrive in the morning and none of my parents has tried to kill me yet.
Although now my mum is looking in her catalog at all the £600 and under laptops and constantly asking me why they wouldn't have been suffice. /sigh
