MacBook Pro and IPhone
Does anyone know if there is any reason why I cannot get a MacBook Pro and IPhone on the 2K limit for flat rate VAT?
I intend to create a iPhone app, so it is legitimate development cost, but would it be questioned?
Thanks

- possibly the 13" version will use the new quad core ivy bridge but there are some issues with heat dissipation in such a small body so there's a good chance the dual core version of the new Ivy Bridge will be used
- upstream supply chain reports suggest mass production starts in April with far more 13" models being ordered
Interesting..
If mass production starts in April, when would that suggest the new macbook is announced/released?
Personally I don't think the MBP will be quite as small as the Air because I can't see Apple killing an entire market. I think that many Apple users justify the purchase of the phone, pad, Ultra laptop and big daddy MBP as they all have different functions...
for instance.
If I am in bed surfing I don't want something that gets hot sat on my lap. So the pads fine...
I answer emails on a pad but I don't want to write documents on it...
So my MBP is perfect for drawing Visio diagrams and doing the word crafting stuff....
But I wouldn't want to take it into a data centre because the battery life sucks....
So an Air makes a good travel machine that can last most of the day in the data centre...
Therefore I need an Iphone Ipad, MBA and a MBP !!!!!

The the current Air will only run a single thunderbolt display while the Pro will run 2 or more. The 15" Pro is very portable however 1k is not going to get you a worthwhile spec.

Still waiting for it being delivered along with my mac mini, I guess because I specced it up it has to be built?

The Air doesn't have a slot for a security lock. YMMV but I do use it occasionally.

If I had left it all in my piggy bank I would have ended up with a free screen...

Originally posted by Bunk View PostYep, if the VAT inclusive prices is over £2000 you can claim back the VAT.
So if it costs £1999.99 (inc VAT) then you pay £1999.99. If it costs £2000 (inc VAT) then you reclaim the VAT and it only costs £1600. It's a no brainer.
