Say your a student.... they'll give you a big discount...
think I got about 30% off and I wasnt even a student anymore by that time.....
youonly get about 6-10% as a student. your best bet is finding some one thats VAT registered and put it through there business as you'll save the vat. if your gonna dothe student thing they'll want u to fax them a student id. jigsaw 24 are really good for macs. every1 is usually around the same price
I got one... it rocks. Got the Macbook pro. Needed the video card.
Its only as fast as the appz. Ableton 5 doest support multicore on the mac.. will do in version 6. Im running windows on the partition too.. VERY convenient.
Logic rocks on it... 4Xalbino 3 2x Rob Papens Blue 8 x compresors, a reverb and a filter.. loads of EQ and no more then 40-50%CPU.. breathing REAL easy.
my friends just got one and says that most of his vst's dont work and a load of software doesnt either. although once everythings been sorted with it, theyre gonna be amazing. i use a last gen powerbook and i'm definately thinkin of upgrading, prob next jan/feb when the new ones get released.
my 2ghz macbook can do 4x albino 3, 4x blue, and 2x Microtonic, with all 5 effects slots filled on each channel, plus 3 channels of apple loops, with the effects filled, 65 plugins running at the same time, and only then does it start to burp.Quote:

My G4 powerbook runs on gas... no recharging the batteries for me...
so long s*ckers....
:cheese:
I'd go student as well.
When you speak to them they give you loads of free shit.
I got about 15% off the price, then they doubled my ram and hard drive for £15 extra.
Bargain.
And then you can claim the VAT back assuming you are registered.
Bloody hell that's insane. How the hell does one go about faking this student thing then?
:lol:
Got any relatives studying? Or friends?
My mum was doing a phd, and they were more than happy to sell it to me. Friendly folk at apple.
Gave me an ipod for £20 as well, sold it on ebay for £100 - bonus!
Jups same here.... I told the guy that by the time I was going to buy the thing I wouldnt be a student any more... He still gave me the discount.....
cunning use of photoshop, then u hope they don't check with the college your 'suppost' to be studying atQuote:
