Very true! I have a rMBP to
keep me tied until then, and don't really 'need' the air until September anyhow![]()
Those were the days....
Just found the BTS in UK, The price for basic models stay unchanged. But if you configure your laptop. The price has increased compared with the price before. What the fxxk....
They issue the 70 pounds gift card. increased the price by almost 200 pounds.
Is this called promotion?
I've been waiting for this for a BTO Air i5 w/ 8GB. In the German online store, no price increase for that at least compared to pre-BTS pricing. However, my school has an "Apple on Campus" online store (offering better pricing than the educational online store) and I noticed that clicking on the BTS ad will remove that discount and go back to the educational store pricing. Maybe that's what's happening to you guys in the UK? Just using my AOC link and adding the laptop to the cart there will automatically add the gift card as well and retain the AOC pricing.

Oh yeah! Now, come on Apple, release the damn Haswell rMBP
It keeps the same. the problem is we need to log in the education store in the bottom link. And log in your university line. the link in the pic is individual student education. When you get in the uni store. it just the same as pre BTS. Good luck guys. I have already placed the order.
How can you afford a Mac Pro as a student?!![]()
There are normally two ways to achieve this:
1. Have rich indulgent parents.
2. Work all hours in some crap student job.
Just the $100 Mac App Store gift card was kind of a bummer. In 2009 and prior It was worth it to wait for these promotions so you could get a $200 device for free along with student discount. I'd be pretty happy to see this type of promotion implemented again.
Not really, you missed another option:
3. Student Loans
I agree, I remember the days of a free ipod touch and a free printer. mac apps are kinda worthless to most people
----------
you would be better off financially in life not going to school than taking out student loans.
HS is free? For whom?![]()
