Grab yourself a MacBook bargain
Did you watch Phil Schiller announcing the new range of MacBooks on Monday and die a little bit inside, knowing that you’ll never be able to afford the latest MacBook?
Well, you may not be able to afford the latest MacBook, but you may well be able to afford one of the slightly older, but still brilliant range.
Apple stores are getting rid of the ‘old’ range by slashing prices of all models. Bargains include:
- MacBook 13.3-inch, 2GHz, 2GB RAM, 120GB hard drive – was £719 – now £679.
