Cheap Apple Mac Notebooks

I have got to buy my son a laptop for uni and I can get it from the apple site a little cheaper because I work in education. 1900 pound 17" pro comes down to 1650 pounds.
However, the pain of paying hard cash straight to Apple makes me baulk. Isn't there some place else I can get Apple notebooks cheaper? Is there any deal one can do?

I doubt you're going to find a £250 discount anywhere else.
You could keep an eye on the Apple Refurb Store.0 -
I think you can get some cashback for Apple through Quidco - you used to be able to anyways...
Save me from spending...

I bought my Macbook in the tax free shop at the airport (Heathrow). It was easy for me as I travel a lot for work but if you are going away yourself or know of someone else who might be travelling out of the UK it might be worth getting one there. Basically they knock off the VAT.0

That's not really much more than the education discount the OP is already getting.0 -
The margin on Apple products is very small. Some dealers make more profit on the carriage than on the computer itself! You simply won't find bigger discounts unless you look at "end-of-line" products or refurbs.0

Ask Marty J, he is selling one of his for £20 +VAT.
Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0 -

basically - I get the same discount, and you are not going to get a better discount then that of the education discount... and why does it make you 'baulk' if you have an issue - buy cheaper laptop 0 -
