Hey. I've searched this forum, and many others, and all I found is that "It's worth it", or "Its a big discount" Now as I'm heading to college, my idea of a 'big discount' will be different from others. I'm just trying to find a numerical value, either it be a percent, or an actual number, that you get off of hardware purchases when you join the $99 Student ADC. Sorry if this has been answered, but I can't find it anywhere.

Thanks,
Jesse
 
Does 'everything' include the Displays? What about refurbished items? And thanks for actually having a number.
 
I would think that "everything" refers to any 1 thing in the apple store whether it be a top of the line mac pro or a mini DVI to VGA adapter.

You can read the terms to find out what you can buy. It's fairly convoluted:

One CPU with one monitor, one iMac, or one portable.

So you can't get a laptop with an external display.

Also, you are limited to one of each type of accessory you buy.

Actually, you can get a laptop and a monitor.

You may also purchase accessories (such as a monitor, adapter or iPod) with each development system. You are limited to one of each type of accessory per system purchased.

Why not just browse the site and see the prices? Anyone can look at the ADC store page, it's linked off of developer.apple.com. Browse the store and see if the prices make it worth the $99 purchase for you.

Not sure I understand you. You have access to the store, that shows the discounted prices? All I see is the normal store, but I'm able to do 20% off in my head. And thanks to everyone else for the replies. Just need to save up a little bit more money.

Click his link and then click the first link on that page. It takes you to the real Developer Store.
 
Can anyone post a link to a item in the store, maybe that will work.

Thanks.

Unfortunately I still cannot gain access to the store. Would anyone be willing to price out a 2.93GHz, 320GB @ 7200RPM, Anti-Glare, Applecare and MobileMe subscription (for my annual renewal.) I would definitely appreciate it!
 
Interesting. Try signing up as an iPhone developer. That's all I'm signed up as. It's completely free.
 
Can anyone actually assist with my initial inquiry? Links do not work, even suggestions do not assist. Can someone with access please price a MBP with the specs above, I'd appreciate the couple minutes of your time.

Its obviously 20% off just like said above, plus 99 to apply, minus the MobileMe and Applecare :p
I did it anyway in case you didn't believe the above lol Its $2,559.00 before the AC and MM and membership.
3,199.00 X 80% = $2,559.00 then add in the usual Applecare and MobileMe prices. Just get the Applecare under education discount separately or from Ebay, as it'll be cheaper :)
 
Student ADC

I have a question about Student ADC conditions. I'm a Uni Student and I will have no problem proving that but I am only taking business courses this semester. Will that be a problem since I'm not actually taking any programming courses or not?
