Hi, what are the main advantages of buying a mac from the apple store as opposed to buying a mac from a third party, authorised retailer like, say, John Lewis?

thanks for your input,

mp :)
 
John Lewis offer a two year warranty for free while Apple only give you one year, and you can extend to three years at JL for less that the Applecare price.

coolio, but if I have an issue with my mac in year 2, do I have to take it to John Lewis or can I go to the apple store? :confused:
 
And there are discount codes available for John Lewis.

Best one has got to be 20 off 100. You gan get a nano for £80

They also have 10 off 50, 30 off 300.

LMK if you need links. This is a Telegraph offer but the codes work for anyone.

ok, post the link please. thank you.
 
has anyone found a John Lewis in the UK that is selling the new macbooks?

There's a post about this very same thing, just above the OP's Starter.

(Not having a go BTW, I'm just about to repeat what I posted in there so apologies if you have read my comments before!)

I enquired to JL via email about when they were expecting their SR MacBooks in and I'm still waiting for a reply!

In the end, I bought it from Apple, I had saved a quote for the MacBook in there and Apple gave me AppleCare for free when I told them I hadn't gone ahead with the order.

HTH
