There is a shop there from the same brand as at the ILFC it's not run by Apple but they might be authorized dealers or so. They have several mac models and accesorries in shock.

They tend to give about a 5% discount for Cathay as long as it is not new apple stuff. For that order from the company discount site

It seems as cheap as you can get anywhere.

They also gave a nice discount for the non CX crew when they just started not sure if they're still doing it though. They're in the same corner of the terminal as HSBC just a floor lower pretty easy to miss them as they're not showing an apple logo or so.

They'll basically sell you Apple stuff for the same price as you can get it through the corporate discount link on intraCX and they are an approved Apple seller.

Just for the record, DG will not match the discount on the apple (CX) website.

It is worth knowing what you can do through apple direct before you go to negotiate. Items like memory (non apple stuff) is the area they can compete on and bring the price down on but for a lot of stuff it is cheaper through the apple site.

I checked a number of places today for the purchase of a mac with warranty and extra memory and hard drive options.

Cheers

I hear that the DG shops in town won't match the Cx Corporate discount but I've twice bought Apple products from the DG shop at terminal 2 in the last 6 weeks and they've matched the price both times.

I've been to DG in T2 and they refused to even discuss a discount. Hence I ordered online. NO discount, No sale.

I bought my Mac from the Apple store in CB a few years ago and it was loaded with every Mac software imaginable for free. I wonder if I just got lucky? Did anyone else get this when they got theirs?

I am due for a new Mac but wondering if I should just go back to the same place and try to see if I get "hooked up" again.

Talking

There has been a lot of talk about a new smaller laptop to be released at the next macworld expo.

Otherwise the latest macbook has just undergone an update with a better graphics card and a speed bump on the processor.

Do yourself a favour and get as much RAM as you can afford, this is where you can get a price reduction from the dealers. If you shop hard to can normally get pretty close to the Apple store price from the dealers but then they will add RAM and software for a whole lot cheaper than the apple price.

Buy an extended warranty off the Apple site.

Hope that helps some.
