Does anyone know what the ADC student discount is? I'm guessing less than the 'select' ADC discount. I can get the 8x2.66 with 8GB for £3,400 with student discount, so if the ADC is substantially better I'll go for that. I'm not technically* developing software though - in case Apple have spies checking this sort of thing.
* in any way, at all.
Depending on your configuration, it is 20% to above that.
Mine was a 25% discount.
Ooh...
Was there any sort of check to see whether you were a developer or doing a computer-tech related course?
£800 off would be quite nice!
Just reviving this in case anyone has gone through the student ADC process and knows how stringent they are with checking 'developer' credentials. If I can get 20% off and the only thing they need is proof of student status, awesome. But if I have to prove I'm specifically studying something along 'apple development' lines, then regular student discount will suffice.
Anybody know?
They just look at your courses, but I was in architectural studies when I got my mbp and it didn't matter.... I just wish I could have gotten another student adc discount for my new macpro... might have made the 2.66 octad reachable.... alas 1 per lifetime

Yeah, you actually have to sign up for a Student Developer account. You have to send them photographic proof of enrollment (ID and schedule), and then they confirm your assets.
I'm still waiting to hear back from them to get my hardware purchase asset back... I get the feeling that I'm not going to GET it back.

So the student ADC membership costs only $99, 1 time fee?? And not $99 monthly?
One time fee for one year.
Wait so the 2nd year do they charge you another $99??
no, they will not charge you unless you sign up for another year. It is NOT automatic renewal
but yes $99/year no discount for previous adc membership

Does anybody have the price for a 2.66 8-core with the student adc discount?
keeping the numbers round, i paid $4500 including $300 NY sales tax and $70 shipping for the mac pro in my signature
How do you like it so far, especially in real world use with multitasking? Also have you ever owned the previous gen 2008 8 core models to notice any difference?
Im a grad student and also have a job. I just purchased the new mac book for school and now I want another mac book for work. Am I only limited to one?
Technically.Yes.
