I know apple are offering 0% finance for a year at the moment and i want a mac book pro.

Are there any other websites offering finance on apple but not with majorly ridiculous % rates? I don't mind having to pay back more than what it is in order to get the finance but i dont want to be paying back a grand extra lol

Please don't answer if your going to judge me i have the money to pay it back on time every month i just dont have the entire money up front or obviously i would buy it up front!

    Apple 0% deal would be the way to go as there will be no decent discounts that would offset the cost of interest elsewhere (I would imagine)

    Any reason for not using Apple?

    Why not get an interest free credit card
    Also bear in mind that Apple do Education discounts, I just saved over £400 on a MacBook Pro and accessories with this (I work in education)

    Is there any reason for not using Apple? If they offer what you want, why not use it? That's what I did for my Macbook Air.

    If your reason for not using Apple is that you don't think you'll be accepted, perhaps due to a less-than-stellar credit history, then it's unlikely you'll find anywhere else willing to give you a competitive deal.

    no it's not that how long do you have to wait for a response, is it instant?

    I got an instant decision, but my credit history is very good.

    You have to be a staff member at a primary or secondary educational establishment to qualify.

    Sensible people would not buy over-priced apples but I assume you won't want to hear my message.
