I purchased my macbook 3 years ago with this deal, I think it's time for an upgrade!
I don't remember if it was possible w/the previous promotions, but could you purchase more than 1 mac product and still qualify for the 199$ rebate iPod for each mac purchased? Or would it be limited to one per customer? Would be nice to get the iPods as an early xmas gift for the niece and nephew.
You're eligible for 1 Desktop (iMac), 1 Laptop, and 1 Mac Mini under the normal educational discounts per year. For each Mac you purchase under said discount (with the exception of Mac Mini) you can get an iPod.
Therefore, it is possible (and I've seen it done), to get an iPod with the purchase of one desktop and one laptop. However, two laptops will not qualify (the second one won't even get the regular educational discount).
