Hey!
Just wondering, does anyone know when the educational promotion beings this summer (the buy a mac, get a free ipod deal). Can anyone remember when the past couple years deals began?I fancy a new macbook now, but want to wait for the deal!


Cheers
Jon
 
last year it began in june and ended in september. if they do it this year, it will probably be around the same time. but you'll have to wait till then to see what it is!
 
yeah you got a free ipod nano with a mail-in-rebate. i bought a macbook last august and got a black 2gb ipod nano for free.

got the check a few weeks later. no problems at all.
 
yeah when i got my macbook pro last july i had the offer of a free ipod nano or the option to pay the difference to get a bigger one.I got the 30gb one, wished i got the 80gb now but never mind.
 
Last year's promo ran from June 5th through September 16th in the US. Several other countries had similar promos in different timeframes.
 
Damn! I'm so waiting to get a Macbook this Fall. An Ipod with that would so great! Will we be able to upgrade to Leopard for free too because it's going to be released in October '07?
 
Maybe, too good to be true, but if I buy a Macbook pro using a student's ADC discount, would a free ipod be an option? I mean, I am a student!

That would be the icing on the cake. I would like to know the answer to that as I am buying a MBP through Student ADC as well. I'm guessing the answer is no though.:(

does it work with getting an imac instead of a macbook?

It did last year, except for the stripped-down "EDU-only" iMac that was briefly available to individuals.

Another note of warning: It also was NOT valid for Core 2 Duo iMacs and the new iPods introduced at the very tail end of the promotion.

Most likely not.

I'd think the back-to-school ipod deal has similar terms and conditions.
