    Discontinued model, but excellent for the price.

      errr… this is 13" Retina Display model?
      It hasn't even been a year since its release I believe…

      There's no new MacBook Pro apart from MacBook Air and Mac Pro since the last Apple Keynote

        tantryl is correct. This is the discontinued "Late 2012" model; new model "Early 2013" 13" rMBPs with very minor speed bumps (and lower prices) were released in February.

        • kazines on 19/07/2013 - 15:58

          Really? I didn't know that. Apologies to tantryl.

          This surprisingly attracted more + votes than anything else i've done on OZbargain….

        • arikkim on 20/07/2013 - 15:07

          the apology was unnecessary, kazines didnt insult anyone.

        • MELso on 20/07/2013 - 22:54

          Well, technically, you can get this model new from Apple as a CTO on the 128GB model (it costs the same as the 2.6GHz 256GB model), so both tantryl and kazines are correct…

    • [Deactivated] on 19/07/2013 - 18:23

      I got two negative votes for this comment that's true and pretty much everyone agrees with. Good ole OzBargain.

  • bibiphok on 19/07/2013 - 15:55

    Good deal, almost same price as air for better spec… for those not willing to wait for the Haswell version due probably next month… but then will wait for prices to drop to that level

    • kazines on 19/07/2013 - 15:59

      i checked it was free shipping to Melb Metro
      but it seems there's surcharge for even Visa and Master cards… as kale mentioned below…

  • kale on 19/07/2013 - 15:57

    2.5% fee for Payal, Visa, MasterCard and 3.75% for Amex.

    • onlyletters on 19/07/2013 - 16:09
      +8

      Sellers are not allowed to charge customers extra for using PayPal, they would be breaking the PayPal terms and agreements.

      • [Deactivated] on 19/07/2013 - 17:26

        on ebay only. Anywhere else no different to cc surcharges.

  • rokkz on 19/07/2013 - 16:02

    3.75% is a bit rough considering merchant charges are less.

    • kale on 19/07/2013 - 16:16
      +3

      To get around this, Paypal accept Amex, so only 2.5% fee.

      • hashtagbargain on 19/07/2013 - 19:35

        I remember a time when paypal didnt accept AMEX and I was disgruntled by it. I just checked and paypal seems ok with amex now. when did they all get along?

      Assuming they have stock of the superseded model!

  • Store RepMegaBuy @ MegaBuy on 19/07/2013 - 16:25

  • JimmyBargain on 19/07/2013 - 16:27

    so for $550 less than the "current" model, you get 0.1 Ghz slower processor, am I right? is that all there difference?

    • hashtagbargain on 19/07/2013 - 19:36

      and also missing out on the haswell goodness.

      • ruraro on 19/07/2013 - 20:16

        Newest 13" rMBP is the Feb 2013 one that costs $550 more. It isn't a Haswell model. So far Apple have only released the Haswell Macbook Airs.

      • obtino on 19/07/2013 - 20:46
        +1

        No, the current retina models do not have the Haswell architecture CPUs. They have not updated their Macbook Pro or their Retina Macbook Pro to this CPU yet.

        If you really want a retina macbook now, I'd get this. However, if you are prepared to wait for a few more months, you will get some with Haswell CPUs. Personally, I'd wait it out - the battery life that's being achieved with the help of this CPU is simply amazing!

  • quarrymaster on 19/07/2013 - 16:28

    This is a great deal if you were interested in the 128GB model.

  • Merlict on 19/07/2013 - 16:31

    Maybe Megabuy bought up all the remaining stock of the old MBP 256gb Retina display models lol

  • regenade on 19/07/2013 - 16:34

    Ordered one, choose to pay via Transfer as the card/Paypal charges are bit high. I hope order is confirmed and stock is held for people with order nos and payment via Bank Transfers. rep, can you please confirm, dropped you a PM as well. I don't think the payments will credit before EOD Monday for people transferring via Bank Transfer.

    Do not buy anything Megabuy or it's other sites… checkout whirlpool for the 1000's of reasons.

    • YuMaNuMa on 20/07/2013 - 02:52

      That's primarily if you need to claim warranty, apart from that their service is pretty good.

      Shouldn't matter here anyways since you can just take it to the Apple Store to claim warranty.

      • raybies on 20/07/2013 - 15:25
        +1

        Ahmm, no. The problems start if you actually expect to get what you ordered. I ordered stuff that was in stock, and it eventually took 3+ months, 30+ emails, dozens of phone calls for me to get my money back, let alone the stuff I ordered.
        Had I ordered with a credit card I think things would have been easier.

    • PresidentClinton on 20/07/2013 - 00:36

      No. You have statutory warranty. Just mention it to the genius and they will instantly change their attitudes. (last year at a senate inquiry, many tech companies claimed that statutory warranty in Australia was part of the reason why prices were much higher than the US).

        Here's a good read about it
        http://www.smh.com.au/money/warranty-warpath-20100524-w6aj.h…

        • scheps on 01/08/2013 - 13:05

          that is a nice link, however, given it has no formula or guidelines for time, it can work equally adversely against the consumer.

          e.g. when the retailer says, your warranty has expired, how do you prove that they are still liable for the remedy of your particular situation?

          Not that easy.

          Tech companies claim that statutory warrant in australia pushes prices up, well, i doubt even 1% (total guess here) of consumers would even exercise this right. So really, its a money grab in addition to the warranty extensions. They get you at both ends.

    The Macbook Pro Retina is one of the laptop that will really benefit from Haswell better integrated graphics (on top of better battery life)… that's the only reason I'm not buying this one… think the resolution is just too high for the poor HD4000… lots of people reporting sluggishness

  • Spets on 19/07/2013 - 18:42

    So tempted by this. How much would my current Macbook Pro be worth on ebay? 13-inch, Early 2011, 4 gig ram, 320 gig HDD, core i5 (2.3Ghz).

    • [Deactivated] on 19/07/2013 - 18:43
