Where would you buy a MacBook from?

Hi

I'm going to buy a MacBook but trying to decide where from. I've listed some options below. Some are cheaper options but have only 1 year warranty, whilst some retailers I trust a bit more than others to buy a laptop from. Price is important but so is the delivery and care of product. Let me know what you think...

Apple (with discount): ?928 (1 year warranty)

Apple (refurbished): ?899

Amazon: ?865 (1 year warranty)

John Lewis: ?999 (2 year warranty)

Well I wouldn't buy a refurbished when for ?29 more I could buy a new one. I would go for the John Lewis as the extra years warranty is worth it.

Or you could buy it from the US for ?200 cheaper...!

Thanks so far for feedback. I just prefer macs - although I'm not part of the cult

Two year warranty sounds like a good plan if your of a nervous disposition (and the warranty is up to scratch).

Towers have always been bulletproof for me (20 years of them, all sold-on without any sort of failure), but I have a friend who got a MacBook lemon and wished he had more than a year. Haven't bothered with any more than a one year warranty on Mac Lappies myself - but then mine haven't left a desk that often!

Two years gets you through any danger period with piece of mind..

Got mine from John Lewis for the two year warranty. I was a Mac newbie so the extra year's 'paranoid'cover was what clinched it for me. Always found John Lewis very good with customer care. Having said that, in 18 months, haven't needed it.

Think there is an offer on Mac's in John Lewis later this month - think you get free broadband for a year
