Having only just come to the end of my time at uni I thought I'd take the opportunity to purchase a mac before I left.
I was going to go for the macbook white, but my mate pushed me to the Macbook Pro 13.3" (brand new)

I'm so glad he pushed me to it, because I had a bit of luck.
When I received the macbook and unpacked it, I noticed 3 small dents in the bottom corner (forming, almost a rectangle), I wasn't pleased, so rang up Apple, and they immediately offered me a partial refund (as altho I am normally anal about these sort of things, its on the bottom, and anything to make it cheaper, so long as inside and the top looks ok, is good with me )
This linked in with the Snow Leopard Up-to-date Program (£7.95) and the free iPod (iPod 16gb Nano) Back-to-school programme.
Which made it a ridiculously cheap macbook, having sold the ipod, should get the cheque through shortly, and I get the next OS. So I'm happy
Especially considering I managed to sell my 3 yo white macbook (core duo) for £500 (on ebay), it was a decent upgrade, for another 3 year warranty
