OK. I've placed an order for a 12" with Apple Germany. I am getting a reburb which arrived at the previous owner with a d.o.a. DVD drive. Meaning it is totally unused, the drive has been replaced by Apple, repackaged and is now on its way to me. I've got 14 days to return it should I decide that I don't like it and rather go for the 15" after all too.
I am getting a disount of $600.
15" are selling at $2100 including all taxes and a years warranty.
17" are selling at $3000 including all taxes and a years warranty.
They only ship to an address in Germany and I will need to get me a UK keyboard sometime in the future, although using the German one isn't a problem for now.
The number is: 0800 2000 136, then 3 at the prompt, then 1112 at the prompt again.
PS: If your credit card doesn't match your shipping address, which is the case for me, I am using my UK card to pay for this, you'll need access to a fax machine - they'd like to see a copy of your name on your credit card statement.
