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?

School teachers and uni staff get discounts too.
