Education discount only $100!

[coledog]

Unless i missed this it appears the education discount is only $100 instead of the normal $200.

That's a bummer for college students...

$50 for MacBook from $100 off.

 

[coledog]

Yup...o well, guess they have to make money to make the new cases...

That might make up my mind for me to get a refurb model.

Yea...plus $239 for AppleCare. Is AC worth it?

The UK discount is still ~17% and you get a £95 off an iPod, free 3 year warranty and free printer.

Its only $183 with an education discount, unless they changed that too?

I hope...I checked in the edu store and it said $239 for MBP coverage

Ebay it is then.

They are updating the store again

I wish it was more discount...

Got mine as soon as possible (right after the store went up after the event). Interesting that mine is listed as having a backlit keyboard....

13 inch Macbook
SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
2GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x1GB
160GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
Backlit Keyboard (English) / User's Guide
Accessory kit
2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Only $50 for the student discount, but I'll accept it. Also used that to expedite shipping...

How do you get 17% off and a free 3 year waranty?

The edu discount price online is £1079 down from £1149 for the higher end model...

Excellent, I'm not on it at the moment....

Seeing as it looks like you are, could you tell me how much a 2.4 macbook with 4GB RAM and the 320gb hard drive is going for? Is apple care free through that link then?

Cheers

It's a separate store called the Apple Store for Higher Education. The prices you listed are from the Apple Store for Education, which has lesser discounts. AppleCare is not free but the only advantage you gain is that the computer is eligible for warranty in any country. If you plan on keeping it in the UK then there's no point getting AC if you buy from the HE store. AppleCare is £47.

£1133.88 for the model you are looking for.

50 bucks off macbook? laaaaame.

Interestingly Apple is offering the USA HE discount on new previous-generation items. I can't recall whether this was the case in the past.

The lower discount combined with glossy displays only has convinced me to buy an old-gen MBP.
