Morning all

No big post this morning as we were short on time yesterday. However, we just wanted to point out that the Retina iPad mini finally went on sale this morning at the Apple Store (stores and online). For those of you who prefer the size of the mini, you’ll be running the same spec as the new iPad Air with this new model, and we can tell you the Air is absolutely awesome.

Now that’s not the message I wanted to get across today. There’s a little tip I wanted to pass on regarding purchasing stuff from Apple. For those that don’t have the option of any discount (educational or otherwise), I suggest you subscribe to a service called Quidco. They offer various deals on all sorts of Web sites, and at the moment I believe they give 3% cashback on purchases from Apple (please check their Terms & Conditions as they do change on a frequent basis). I’ve been using Quidco personally for a long time, and it’s a great way of getting a little discount on products (by way of a payment into your account some time later and/or an actual discount).

Hope this recommendation helps, not just with Apple purchases, there’s all kinds of retailers on the site that you may want to use for Christmas presents!

One last thing; if you don’t have to buy today….don’t. Apple typically offer 10% reductions for a couple of days around Black Friday (29th November in 2013), and you’ve been able to combine this discount with Quidco cashbacks in the past.

Have a great day, tomorrow I hope to put out part 3 of our Backup & Storage series.
