If it's for school, then you're eligible for the education discount. That brings the base 11in model down to $949.I really need a MacBook air for school, I have a budget of $450 anyone have any suggestions on where to get one?

Apple does have interest free financing. If you pay for 1/3 of the laptop the payments over 12-18 months aren't too bad. Also if you get any extra financial aid you could easily pay for another chunk (if not all) of the laptop.

I really wouldn't suggest that the OP go that route. He's buying this for college, which is already expensive in its own right. With purchases like computers, you really should just pay for them outright. Don't buy stuff you can't afford.
Put the $450 as a down payment and finance the rest to get a new mac with warranty? That or use Apple's own finance - it has a relatively low APR and you'll get instant dispatch once you've digitally signed the agreement.
Bad idea. Don't finance something like a computer. OP, buy within your means.
Why is this a bad idea, interest free financing is bad ? whats good 10% financing. We don't know the OPs finances. If he put even 300.00 down on a new 11" 2012 Air @999.00 maybe less if best buy has it on sale, Apple will match that, anyway, that leaves 699.00 balance over 12 months is a little less than $59.00/month. Personally I would keep the 450 cash and pay $84/month
for 12 months. I will take a no interest loan every time.

yeah because college students can easily afford 84$ a month... and if he can, can he still do it in 6 or 8 months ? Never get a loan if you don't have to...
