UK: 0% finance on Macs from Apple

Finally a decent finance plan from Apple. They should really advertise this fact. Apple are stubborn not to lower their prices during these difficult times (understandably for many reasons) so they are reaching the people with difficult financial problems this way. Nice work.
 
Damn this makes me so tempted to buy a macbook. Though it's only available until June. Which seems weird to me. I wonder if this is a clue as to when new macbooks come out. I guess that the 16th is the date for them.
 
Thats pretty good. When they used to do that before, it was for only 6 months. 10 Months make it alot easier

Still, nice to see a decent 0% offer. Oh and Damn you Apple for making stuff so tempting!

Does anyone know if you can use this on the education store? I would have a look but I am not at University at the moment?

Thanks, and yes I caved I and bought* a new mini. It's worth calling them as I found out I get a 6% discount because of my employers.

It dropped the price to £469, so added VMWare fusion to bump it to £516



*Just got to fill out the paper work and post it back (via snail mail).

Seems my old Mini - 2ghz Core 2 Duo 2gb sells for around £350-400 on Ebay.

Congrats on the new Mini! I think when it first came out they said something to the effect that it was the only desk top computer that you could lose down the back of the sofa! :)
 
I guess your right about new stuff, however I do think the MacMini will probably be the last thing to be updated. I'm still surprised how much value the old Mini retains.
 
Talking of the Mac Mini, I agree, I doubt that will see a change for a year (if not more!) and the value they hold is extremely good. One good thing really about Macs, you know you can get about a 1/3 (give or take) back of the cost of a new machine
 
Or in the Mini's case seems to be 2/3rd if it's a year old.

Mind you I did get my 2ghz cheaper as it was in a clearance sale. One thing I've not though about is target disc mode from fw400 to fw800? I assume a 400-800 would work.

If one needs a Mac now, this is a welcome move and potentially very helpful.
However there's a reason this 'offer' is only available to June 15th - some things are going to be updated very soon after that date.
Apple always takes very visible steps to offload inventory in the weeks(or month or so)before updated Macs come out and this is most definitely one of them.
Another on the front page of the UK store(just like the 0% finance)is a large advert for the 'new' 15" MacBook Pro!
New is stretching it big-time; I know the 2.53 was bumped to 2.66 but that was chicken-feed and the 2.4 is now almost eight months old.
Not new, Apple.

If this offer helps from Apple then excellent, take advantage of it, but within three weeks of that 'closing date' there will be genuinely new Macs out there.
