Buying Macbook Pro

Options
Hi all - hope this post is in the right place.

I am about to buy a Macbook Pro. Was about to purchase direct from Apple when I saw the new model with all the same specs for about £200 less on Amazon via marketplace sellers.

I don't know what to do. The feedback for both of the sellers is 100% but I'm just a bit cautious about buying from them.

Has anyone had any experience buying laptops from Amazon Marketplace. Is it a bad idea? Is there a hidden reason why they're so much cheaper?

    Find a Uni student and use them to get you a 14% discount in store from Apple.

    Yep I heard that but I don't know anyone who is a Uni student.

    School teachers and uni staff get discounts too.

    Be wary of buying online. May not be covered by warranty
