Where to buy a MBP retina display from in the UK.

[Mossmann]

Having trouble getting the new MBP everywhere seems to be out of stock or not even got any in yet, trying to avoid the apple site as i dont really want to wait 4 weeks and i prefer going at getting it from a shop. I live in Gloucestershire, but I dont mind traveling.

How come its in such high demand?! Never had this trouble with apple stuff before.

Thanks

It's in high demand because it's cool.

You might be a little late to the party but an Apple retail store is your best bet.

I've only just made up my mind really, Is their anyway you can reseve them online?

Not from apple no as they are in such high demand, also try the usual places

john lewis
pc world
currys
comet

dunno about argos if they sell them yet.

Ahh ill try them, thank you!

But PC world... really, haha. God I hate that place, got my iPad from there and they havent heard of customer service, when the mic broke they didn't want anything to do with me, and it was in the warrente!

John lewis are good, sometimes you get 2 years warrente for free

Best bet is JL I reckon and totally agree with you about PC World!

Stormfront is a good bet if you have one close to you.

Amazon?

Unfortunately, the one I want: 2.6 / 16 / 512 is BTO only AFIAK.

GET IN! Just reserved the last one from John Lewis!

Bit of a drive, but better than 4 weeks wait!

Does anyone know if JL do a student discount?

 

[Dangerous Theory]

Amazon currently have one left in stock, and it's 10 quid cheaper than RRP.

Although it's an amazon merchant not amazon themselves.

(irrelevant if you're after student discount. but if that's the case, you should definitely buy from Apple. Uni discounts bring the price down to £1530)

 

[JasonH42]

Ebuyer.com has 50+ in stock.

No student discounts I think you can only get that from apple and/or a apple reseller.

I have one on order from Stormfront.
In theory they should have some stock in the next week.
If not I won't be very happy!
Their current stock position seems to be zero.
