It's the "Get rid of the old models by giving them to higher education students at a discount so that we have more room in our warehouses for the new models we're releasing a week later" sale! It will probably happen again starting in July.
It's for students. You get $150 towards an iPod when you buy a computer. It usually runs mid June/July till early September. Yes, it's expected to happen again this summer. It's been going on for many years. I don't have an exact number, but it has happened at least the last 4 years when I've been in college.
Oh, cool. Seems like a great deal. June should be a great month! Iphone, Macbook, Macbook pro, and this great deal. Sweet.
what would the updates for the macbook pro be? and when would they update them? i have to buy a laptop by early june and i was wondering if i should wait right before i leave overseas or buy now.
i wonder if you could use it this year towards a 3g iphone thats going to be released at WWDC... new mac book pro and new 3g iphone...sweet!
iPod's only I believe, not iPhone. Also, usually not compatible with new WWDC releases.
It only works with new computer purchases at the Apple Store online/retail.
You basically get a $100 rebate for a printer and a $200 rebates towards an iPod. You can get the Nano for free after rebates; you can still get a Classic, Touch if you want, but you will still only get $200 rebate; and no you can't just get a shuffle or no iPod (well you could, but you won't get the $200 rebate).
If you can get Apple to claim their iPhone is an iPod rather than a phone, then you can get the rebate; but then Apple will have a hard time explaining what the Touch is.
That's what the promotion is; you get a student discount, a free iPod, and a free printere, all back for school!
Only new computers available on the store front.
To make it easier; if you will be able to get discount on computers you can select from this page: http://www.apple.com/mac/ and select Buy Now.
Same with the Apple retail store; if you can see the store model and then say I want that, it's eligible.
No, it doesn't include the shuffle. Last year the deal was for $150 because of the price drop of the nano.
This is the same as buying an extra ipod shuffle form what i remember. All they offer is the price of the nano, if you buy anything more expensive you will have to pay the difference. That what i remember when i bought my MBP last september.
