Why do you care about the student discount? Usually the prices at like Macmall are even cheaper than the price wheyou up include the student discount. I would check out the pricing guide at apple insider.com
When buying an iMac for example...
MacMall gives you less options to customize your order...
This is at an additional cost...
Apple gives you more options to customize your order...
...between a wireless keyboard or wired keyboard
...between a magic mouse or magic trackpad
This is at no additional cost...
Something to keep in mind if you already have one of those...
You can get the other for free...
I just bought an iMac from the Apple Education Online Store...
And I already had a wireless keyboard & magic mouse...
So I selected the wired keyboard & magic trackpad instead...
Also...
Apple has the $100 Printer Rebate...
There is an Epson Printer available for $99.95...
So if you buy the printer with the computer from Apple...
You can get a free printer...
Or could even sell the printer after you get your rebate...
In conclusion...
....Apple + $100 BTS Card + $100 Printer Rebate + Re-Sale of Printer = MacMall Sucks!
