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.
Thanks for the tip. Pretty true how we need to save.
