Wanted: Macbook Pro, what's the cheapest option (need 0% interest free finance)

i see apple don't offer buy now pay later 0% finance at the moment, which is a shame, as my cousin can get university higher education discount.

guess cheapest way would be use the above discount on a new 0% purchases credit card?

any discount codes for comet, pc world etc.?

    I don't recall ever seeing Apple offer 0% interest financing.

    Your best bet is to save up and buy it when you have the money.
  • 0% credit card is usually the only way. Apple very very rarely do any discounts / codes. They just don't need to. Maybe ask your cousin to buy it for you?

    I'd save up and get your cousin to get you the discount and just pay cash.

    if i had 0% interest free for 6 or 9 months, i can buy now and spread the cost.
    wanted to get one sooner rather than save up for it and buy say end of 2010, as i want to upgrade to an iphone and need a working computer (as i type this from work)

    MacRumors are giving the MacBook Pro a "Don't Buy - Updates soon" rating. It gets updated on average every 200 days, and it has been 228 days since the last update.

    So you can either save up for a bit and get yourself a newer model, or wait until they're released and see if you can get a good deal on one of the current models.
