I ordered a 12" Powerbook :D

[saturn]

12" 1,5 Ghz G4 PB with Superdrive and 768 megs of Ram.

Normal price: 1809 euros (2339 dollars, omfg)
With ADC discount: 1447 (1870 dollars)
+ 99 dollar membership fee: 1523 euros (1966 dollars)

That's 20 percent off
And the guy told me that I could purchase a Tiger update disc for 19,95 in case it would come out soon.

In the States you would pay $1567 for that system with NORMAL student discount (around 10 percent). And $1774 without any discount. $1420 with ADC discount, which is roughly 1099 euros.

It's not fair Dunno how much tax you would have to add though. My price would be all inclusive and 'free' shipping.

[Canis]

Tax would be around 8%, so with the ADC discount we would pay ~$1533.

Ahh the benefits of living in the good old US of A!

[saturn]

it's one of the few benefits

[NCG_Mike]

Yep, the price differences you see between Europe and the US are mostly taxes. That's what you get for "free" hospitals and social security :-D

[saturn]

I guess that's the price

So, i'm joining the Mac club soon. Hopefully it won't take too long before they're gonna ship it.

[saturn]

Oh yeah, funny thing when I called the Apple Store they didn't even asked if I were going to develop anything. He just asked if had purchased an asset yet and what kind of Powerbook I wanted. Then he calculated the discount and placed the order for me.

Easy peasy.

[Canis]

Yeah, that happened for my student discount. I ordered my G5 and they never asked for a student number or the university. They just said they'd set me up with the discount and *poof* it came...

I guess you could technically do that for any order, but I'm assuming that if they found out you'd be in some shit...

[zeeko]

you could just say you accidently clicked it, or say you were distraught

I've a 12" 1ghz (Rev B) w/768mb (damn gig sticks are still too expensive). They really are lovely machines, easy to scratch tho, so be warned. Crumpler do a nice case for them (called the Gimp, lol) only £20 on Ebay.

[saturn]

I might have to cancel the order to preserve the money for a new appartment. Need a new washing machine, oven, new floor, paint, etc.

Not something I'm looking forward to buy, I'd rather buy a nerdy gadget I don't really need

[Canis]

Ahhh the sacrifices we must make....

I'd go ahead and cancel it anyway, since tiger went gold on Friday and should be out for retail around the 15th. Reorder when Tiger is out, and you just saved ~$80
