I ordered the Ipad Pro 9.7 128GB WiFi it comes with 2 years accidental damage and a protective case, net cost over period is £653.52. If i got same deal from Apple without the case on 2 year finance it would cost £838.64. Even if i paid for it there and then would still be £728. So i would say you save a good chunk..
Jesus, two weeks salary on what essentially is a toy. :cuppa

You can get an Android tablet that'll do the same for half the price and then some.

I have a Macbook and an Iphone, so not much point in getting an android, plus my little girls use an ipad at school, and it is mainly for them to use..

Weird the PDF uploaded here has different stuff to what I have offered.

I really do want to get the MacBook, am a huge Apple fan iPhone 7, Apple Watch 2.. -.-

But Mac is very limited I think for what I'd use it for.. and the surface book seems to offer so much more..

But yeah the mac is shiney,

If you pay tax you pay the net value and if you dont pay tax (married tax allowance or dont earn enough for example) you pay the gross figure.
