So basically tomorow I will be buying a new macpro I won't be buying nothin extra just the laptop so where ti get it from? I want to purchase the HE applecare later this year can I do so? So I got a couple of places that I'm considering buying from, argos, currys, pcworld, or apple I'm in uk north london
 
The apple store is usually a bit more expensive than using another retailer. You can always buy apple care within one year of the purchase.
 
Does anyone know where there is a dixons store still open coz they do it for 928 but I can't see a store locator?
 
+1 for Microcenter if one is near you.

If not, and if your state charges sales tax, Amazon is a good bet: discounted price, free shipping and no sales tax. However, their return policy has become stricter.

Hardly.

What do you mean become stricter? I've never had a problem with returning anything with amazon. They are always my first choice in buying anything.

HE AppleCare? If you're in (or going onto) higher education, then why not buy online from Apple, get a discount of ~14% and a 3 year complimentary warranty? The only difference between this and AppleCare is that you only get 1 year phone support but that isn't a big deal so you won't need to get AppleCare at all. Food for thought. ;)

Amazon is my first choice, too.

That said, my recollection is that they used to accept computer returns without restocking fees. Now, it appears that if you return without defect they give you just an 85% refund: "Computers purchased from Amazon.com which have been opened are subject to a partial refund of 85% of the sale price. Computers may not be returned more than 30 days from the date of shipment receipt."

This isn't really an issue if you're sure you want to keep it. For me, I sometimes want to try it out and return it if I don't want it. For instance, I might want to try the 13" MBP and instead get the 15".
