BUYING APPLE IN Philippines with a discounted Price

Hi I recently purchased a customize your 15-inch MacBook Pro - Silver

Over a year I am really hoping that maybe someday I can buy a macbook product especially a macbook laptop. I have a macbook computer but its 2012 mac mini and over time it ages and now it is very slow. So luckily I have some money to buy and experience how to have a macbook pro.

you  maybe asking why I bought and what is the purpose of buying a hundred thousand laptop. Well I am a developer and a Instructor in College and I teach Programming language and information Technology Course. and I am also a web developer and a Mobile developer. I write teach code for leaving. well that's not all. but lets talk about the macbook.

Why I purchase the 2015 Macbook pro 15 inc in 2017? the answer is why not? its faster and its huge for developing application. There are a lot of space to position your windows. and the macbook pro with touch id is expensive. Its to much and my budget is for the 2015 Macbook only. :( . I was planning to buy the 13 inc with touch id but the 2 cores I think is not enough for me. well I hope the 13 inc has a quad(4) core I will definately choose that. My chooses are Huge laptop, A quadcore, not tooooo expensive :), and has a mac os for my xcode projects.


Lets talk about the discounted price.

Apple has several ways that you can have discount to your purchase on their product.

First is to buy as an Educator. which I choose. Apple allow you to purchase as an educator and they will give you a discount but in my experience Local APPLE store doesn't have this Educator thing. not 100% sure but that my experience via calling all of the nearest Local APPLE Store SM CITY CEBU, AYALA CEBU, and TACLOBAN City
 so I did purchase the 2015 macbook pro via online apple.com/ph





that's the regular price but when you visit this side of apple store 

https://www.apple.com/ph-k12/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/15-inch

From PHP 109,990.00 to PHP 104,390.00


its not huge discount but that's my only option for now.



The second way to have a macbook product is to buy it as refurbished 
using this link
https://www.apple.com/shop/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macbook_pro/15

refurbished are product that has problem and apple fix it and sold it again.
but the negative side is its not available in the philippines but if you have some relatives or friends from the USA you can avail this product buy sending to them and ship it to the philippines you need to budget the tax tough.


The third is to buy second hand device.


with the 104,390.00 I was able to customize my macbook to  this configuration 





I bought this device September 1, 2017 and now its still on china.


I will update you later on if there's any improvement since apple is estimating the delivery on September 28, 2017..




Thanks for Reading.
