Educational discount only $100!?

[Gameaholic]

Hey guys,

Just want to make sure the apple guy did not rip me off. I was checking the Apple site and I saw that you save $200 for MBPs. I bought a MPB 13 2.4 and even with the back to school promotion, the discount was only $100. I just want to confirm if that is the right discount or if the apple guy didn't know what he was doing. Thanks

That's the right discount on that model. Only the 15" i7 and the 17" have a $200 discount.

That's correct.

I got my 13" MBP for the Edu discount price PLUS a free 8GB iPod Touch (mail-in rebate). Then I sold the iPod. So, I ended up with the $100 I saved on the MBP and $200 for the iPod. $300 savings win.

(Just be sure to keep the UPC tab from the iPod Touch box for the rebate! )

That is correct. I only got $100 off of my purchase of my 2.4GHz 2010 13" MBP

For me the educational discount goes up the more expensive it is.

You can save a couple of thousand dollars on a tricked out Mac Pro

Yeah the base 15" and 17" are $200 off, then upgrades like RAM, HDD, software, antiglare screen all have a small discount on them.

For the iPod Touch you don't have to do a "mail-in-rebate". You can just punch in the info online and do the rebate online. They will review it and send a check home or do a direct deposit.

Don't forget the $100 off printer rebate as well. If you already have a printer, get one thats around 100 bucks so it becomes free after rebate, and then sell it for some extra savings.
