Amazon have always sold them for hundreds less and probably still have many available for sale.
PC world are also selling at the old prices at the moment (but obviously no BTO options available)
I think we need that single market discount back! Haha it's almost cheaper to fly to the states and bring one home! (Ignoring the "anything to declare" signs obviously )
Yeah I'm in the states right now but went to 3 different stores, all said 2 weeks wait
Can't find any references to that, only the USD/SEK adjustment in March 2015 and when EU insisted on moms (VAT) in the App Store.
Sometimes this website is just awesome! You've just saved me £250, or somewhere between £650 - £1,190 if I'd gone for a new MBP. Thank you!!!
Mid-spec used to be £1249, now it's £1749. This is ridiculous. Have you SEEN the 15" prices? £2350 for base spec? Hahahahahahahaha, this must be a joke...
EDIT: TOP SPEC 13" STILL doesn't come with 16GB RAM. I'm dying inside. This 2014 rMBP was meant to last until 2017-2018, it's stretching through to late 2020 now...
Second EDIT: I genuinely can't believe that they slap on £200 from mid to high-spec 13" JUST for a bigger SSD, either. I cannot believe the balls on Apple amidst falling notebook sales. It's bewildering.

What did you get and at what price?
Ordered the 1.2GHz MacBook with 512GB SSD and 8GB RAM in Space Grey for £1299 including a 3 year John Lewis warranty. Collect it on Saturday in Edinburgh
I'd pretty much decided against a 4th MBA down to the screen, but was undesided on either a MacBook (smaller and wedged, which I really like) or more powerful rMBP. The pricing on the new ones made that pretty simple, until I saw the new MacBook pricing on the Apple site.
Picking one up at the old price including the equivalent AppleCare made perfect sense.

Just be wary - anecdotally, I've had quite a few friends talk about how awful JL warranty repair can be. It has taken weeks for at least 2 of my friends, and a month for another.
Yeah I have heard the same. They use a third party company who seem to take their time with repairs. Obviously first year you can stroll into your local Apple store, but after that if any issues be prepared for a wait.
Hey! Please could I use your NUS extra discount code to get off Amazon? Much appreciated!!
