Free iPod Touch with Mac Purchase for College Students?

[blakintosh]

Do you think, based on this, they will re-release a 17" iMac?

Why would they re-release it, i think they still sell it. Its the emac version of the new imac. What i mean is that this 17" imac is sold to education purposes just like the emac.

I'm 70% sure of this ;)

Is the back to school action also available at Apple Premium Resellers?

You are so lucky over there in the US .

I haven't seen any adverts on the Dutch Apple site

Hello- I am a high school student in search of a new laptop. After much thought, I decided I want a new Macbook Pro. However, I want to know when the next major revision (design, processor, RAM, etc.) will occur so I don't buy something now and have it become obsolete in about a week. Could anyone give any advice on if I should buy now or wait?:apple:

I love when apple does these promotions... hopefully they will have a similar back to school promotion when I need to get a new laptop for school.

Well, no one can really say. I think it's to be expected, but would you really need the extra power, if you're a high school student? You'd be getting a free iPod touch here, which you could sell on, thus you'd be saving a fair bit more. They normally do this deal to push iPod inventory, but I don't think the same applies to the computers. Not too sure about that.

It wouldn't become obselete, I'm sure the countless amount of people using older macbook pros would agree there. They're powerful laptops, they'll last.

Well, they've been doing them for a while now, so I guess no reason to worry, should be around for quite a while. :)

Just bought my iMac.

32GB iPod touch for $200.

Shweet.

This is excellent but I want a new MBP that is dual 2.7 Mhz or more. Let's see what they come up with on June 9. It cant be all about the phone. There must be some other hardware bumping going on. Would be nice to simply give a $199 on all products after purchase.

Sorry, it was all about the iPhone. :cool:

I'll probably take advantage of this deal. Gee, then I will have only spent about $8000 on tuition this year to get a free $299 iPod Touch! :o

8000?

Was WWDC the only time at which Apple was going to announce a refresh of the Macbook Pros this summer... or is it still possible that we'll see an announcement in July?

There will be an announcement but I doubt it will be in July, since Intel's Montevina platform has been delayed until at least mid-July. I would figure on new 'books in August at the earliest, more likely September. And it could be later if Montevina is delayed further.

try overpaying for school........

lemme know if your job offers are 10x as much as mine are lol. yea my tuition at Colorado State was about 3500-4000 a year

[stone315]

so i'm debating between the maxed out macbook or the basic macbook pro cause the only differences would be the multitouch track pad, a 7200rpm hard drive, and a better graphics card. (both would have 2.4ghz cpu, 4gigs ram) is it worth it to wait and see if the macbooks are upgraded to add the multitouch track pad and a 7200rpm hard drive/ssd? (i have to order by august 13 for college.) or should i just go for the macbook as it is now? it's a 600 dollar difference. (idk what i'm majoring in, but i'm thinking math/comp sci/physics/engineering areas)

[neoelectronaut]

The biggest thing is the dedicated graphics. If you need it, go Pro.

Otherwise, I love the form factor for the Macbook.

[manupulator]

The only way to buy from a store outside your country would be to travel to that store. You cannot do it online.

However, they will not accept your university ID because the offers are specific to universities in that stores country, so you wouldn't qualify.

You could always ask the reseller store about the promotion and see what they say?

Hey, am reading since long. Now registered.

Does this mean that I can not buy a discounted macbook in the US with a german (or international) student ID?
Thanks for you help!

[brop52]

Try 35K.

Lol. Must suck to have higher tuition than a majority of med schools. Hope your job pays well or your parents are paying your tuition otherwise those loans might hurt a bit.

actually, that's only a little above average for most private, 4 year schools, as far as i know.

Hence why I was hoping the job pays well, because I am at medical school and tuition is horrendous. I don't know why anyone would put themselves through that unless it was already paid for by scholarships or parents. Otherwise, those student loans might be a little difficult.

[Vegan TJ]

can you get this promo by buying a comp at an apple store or is it just online

[Packbacker92]

on the apple website it states that if you are an employee of a K-12 public or private school you also can get the rebate. So doesn't this mean that anyone could just find a local school by zip code on the apple website and say that they are a teacher and then buy a computer? I have used my mom's teaching discount before with no problems.
