MacBook Pro Pne Day Only

pggoody — Fri, 16 Dec 2016 03:37:00 GMT

Is the MacBook Pro that is a One Day Only today a good purchase. I have an iPad that is 5 years old so ready to upgrade. Saw this deal and wondering if it is most recent model? I don't have a home computer anymore I want something that will last . Like the easy pay.

No that is not the latest MBP. Go to Apple's website to read about & see the newest MBPs.

The models that QVC sells are usually the oldest available ones.

Go to Apple's website and check the specs for the newest Macbook Pro. Then compare it to the model QVC has for sale. That is the only way to know if you are getting a good deal. If the price difference is signigicant and you don't mind having an older model, go for it. Not everyone needs the latest model to have a computer fit their needs.

Unlike others on this board, I'm not anti buying electronics from QVC as long as it's a good deal. Believe it or not, you get the same manufacturer's warranty no matter which retail store it's purchased. You can also buy Apple Care when you buy a new Apple computer from another retailer.

It doesn't do any good to tell people to not buy from QVC for the EZ pay option because it falls on deaf ears. So, I no longer post it. Would I buy from QVC, no. But I've come to the conclusion, people want to and do purchse products here. Just make sure you aren't paying more than it's worth.

I agree with those who suggest going to the Apple website to compare their offerings to the QVC model.

We are a Mac family. We purchase only from the Apple on-line retail store, or the Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Reseller. We also purchase Apple Care with our products to make sure we have access to Apple Tech Support for 3 years. We don't deal with "3rd Party" tech support companies.

QVC has to be an Apple Authorized Reseller or they couldn't sell Apple products. Too many people post as if QVC is getting the computers from the black market. As I posted, you get the same manufacture's warranty from all Apple's Authorized Resellers as you do when buying directly from Apple. You must register your product after you receive it!

@glb613 QVC is NOT an Apple authorizied reseller. They are just a "reseller." For the record, QVC does not sell Apple's AppleCare which is a must have for that piece of mind. If QVC was an Apple reseller, AC would be offered. As it stands now, it never has been.

Thanks for replying. Still wondering if I can buy Apple Care if purchased from QVC?

YUP! You can register both over the phone instead of doing so on Apple's website.

Phone: 1-800-275-2273. Ask to be transferred to CUSTOMER RELATIONS.

You don't have to buy from Apple to buy Apple Care. Please stop spreading incorrect information. You must register your device with Apple and buy the extended warranty from them.

I have an iMac, bought the 3 year Apple Care and the hinge broke 3 1/2 years later. I aruged with Apple and they agreed to pay for the repair that WASN'T covered by my Apple Care. I bought a Macbook Pro, didn't get Apple Care, I've had the computer for over 3 years and I've only had one problem I fixed myself. Extended warranties are an expensive ****** shoot in my opinion. Apple Care is the only one I've purchased in the last 30 years and when something went wrong, it had expired.

The product the Q is selling is from 2012. This is a very old MacBook Pro 13.3 laptop.

Apple sells on their site a new MacBook Pro 13.3" laptop.

They also have available a MacBook Pro refurbished product from 2015.

This laptop has some nice technology and a good fair price. You should call Apple.

QVC is NOT an Apple Authorized Reseller. No TV Shopping Channel is listed as an authorized reseller. Check the Apple website for a list of authorized resellers. I have no idea where they are getting the product from.

When we buy a Mac product from the Apple website or from an authorized reseller, the warranty is registered as part of the sale. I cannot remember ever having to register the product ourselves.

They have to be getting them from Apple. Where else would they get them? If you buy directly from Apple, you don't need to register. If you buy from a reseller, you do. Geesh, have you never registered a product before? You sure don't act like it.

Where else would they get them? I don't have the foggiest idea. Maybe they buy them from Apple and then sell them at an inflated price to make a profit. Who know. And I don't really care.

As far as registering products, sure I have. But that's now what I was talking about and you know it. We've bought our Apple products either from the Apple Store on-line or from an Apple Retail Store, or from an Apple Authorized Reseller. I know that the ones we bought from the first two had warranty registrations as part of the sale. We bought our iPhone from the Verizon Store. I really don't remember if we had to register it or not.

@glb613

I have never stated that in any of my postings. Nor am I spreading false information. Proof?????

For the record, you can purchase AC from many places for much cheaper than Apple.
