Apple advertises its fully loaded Macbook Pro 15":
- 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
- 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM
- 320GB Serial ATA @ 5400
- SuperDrive 8x
At $2,499. I got mine for $2,225 and no shipping or cutstoms duties.
How did I pull this off ? Well I was in London Heathrow Airport and bought it off the duty free. It cost me in British Pounds 1,488.47
Converting to dollars, I got a $274 saving. I did my own shipping by carrying it in my hand all the way to Kuwait.
In these hard economic times, every dollar saved, counts.
