So on Amazon in the UK, the 2020 MBP 13-inch (10th gen, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD Storage) is now available for £1375, which is a saving of £424 from its original price of £1799! It's an incredible deal but has anyone bought a MBP from Amazon before? Are there any risks for doing so?
Got a tip for us?

Nice deal! Considering Amazon’s easy return policy, I would say the risk is quite low.
I bought my MBP from Amazon back in 2015. If there are drawbacks I'm not aware of them. You still get Apple support if needed, and in my experience of Amazon UK they are very good if you need to return a product, just a matter of completing a web form and printing a label. I also bought two iPad Minis for my grandchildren and when one developed a screen fault it was replaced without drama. More recently I bought my iPhone from them, no qualms at all.
The 2015 MBP has had no issues, it's still like new and still doing all I want it do. That's what we want from an Apple product, isn't it?
No it's not! Although that one is also priced at £1375, the 10th gen is the same price lol.

Nice find. Cracking deal that is.

Not sure if that is a mistake or not but I see it too, bargain to be honest, grab it if you need one, that is a ridiculously good price.
I bought one just before they corrected the price, back up to £1,650. Knew it was a mistake!
Actually, I don't think this is an error, its only the silver version, which Apple are struggling to shift, you can't get the Space Grey at that price, cancelled my order

Glad you got yours. I’m not in the market for one though. But I did check to see if they’ve got any cheeky prices on the 16 inch.
Ive also ordered this deal . Ive bagged it on delayed delivery just to get it and work out if its a keeper before dispatch. Did read up on i10 having overheating problems?
It's now showing on Amazon that it isn't currently available so this deal is probably over.
Mine arrived this morning. Haven't opened it yet, might be a dumb question but how do I find out it is actually brand new? I read on Amazon reviews people suspecting they've been sent a returned Mac.

It should be wrapped in cellophane . Also the outer box is also Apple sealed ? Not cellophane obviously . Best way to check is watch YouTube unboxings
As long as it’s still in cellophane I wouldn’t worry if the outer box had been breached . Especially at this price
I bought a 16” MBP from them but was suspicious about the packaging. It turned out it was a refurb. Amazon admitted it. There was nothing wrong with the machine but I thought it was very naughty of Amazon to advertise it as “new”.
I’ll also point out that it took Amazon over a month to refund me. Something somewhere is not right with them selling MBP’s.
I got mine! It arrived today - nothing wrong with it at all. Thrilled to get this massive discount.
I'm waiting on mine to arrive. Upgrading from a 12" macbook which has been my main machine for a while.
How's the Intel iris plus graphics? I want to run 2 external 4k monitors at their native resolution without scaling and still have the inbuilt screen in use so basically having 3 screens.
Anyone know if this is possible or will it struggle pushing so many pixels?
Thanks
