Daughter is saving for a Mac air to see her through her last year at college and then onto Uni. I have found this site , However, she is very dubious about it.”Too good to be true” she says as it is such a huge price difference. Can anyone offer any reassurance please?

According to the website, EDUstore is the trading name of XMA Limited.If you do a company search on https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/02051703/filing-history you will see that it appears to be a company of some substance. Latest accounts are reasonably recent to 31 December 2019 and have been audited by PWC LLP.

Assuming of course that it's actually XMA and not just a scam site using their company details. Other than that the site itself really does look like a scam site, or at best a dropshipper.I'd contact XMA directly through a channel you can trust and ask them if this site is really theirs. Actually, no I wouldn't. If an IT company can't build a website competently, I'd probably not want to have anything to do with them.2

By the way the huge price differences are easily explained: Apple stuff is massively overpriced. Even with the 'discounts' she'll still be paying way over the odds in comparison to other manufacturers.

Cheap jibe which is no help to the OP whatsoever!

To the contrary. You referred to the company being audited by PwC as suggesting that this should assuage the OP's concern regarding the vendor when, in practice, it counts for nothing. Time and time again, companies fold after being given a clean bill of health by their (management appointed) auditors. Neither you nor the OP appear to appreciate this.inspectorperez said:Cheap jibe which is no help to the OP whatsoever!0 -
Son bought his mac from them. I can recommend this company.
