Should be, but they are not going to give a discount on it, well if they treat it as a iPod.

Thanks for posting that MacDonaldsd, reasuring since I'm looking to do the same thing.
Just to verify for you mkgm1, the HE discount for a MBP with 7200rpm HD = £1,444.08. You were spot on
If anyone else is curious the base MBP HE Discounts are
15"/2.2Ghz/2GB/120GB = £1,104.50
15"/2.4Ghz/2GB/160GB = £1,359.48
17"/2.4Ghz/2GB/160GB = £1,528.68
If you want to know any other HE prices please ask
Hey!
Just found this thread (ideas circling in head!)...
What would the ADC discounted total incl VAT be on the setup below?
20" Apple Cinema Display plus Base model Mac Mini?
cheers

Hi Capo
Problem is you have to ring apple to get a quote in the UK which is silly.
If the 20% rule still holds on non pro models your looking at £640 for that setup.
Being 100% honest I don't know if the mac mini is included or if it is, does get the same discount.
it doesn't for the US, and I don't think apple would offer a 20% discount on a mini. maybe some discount on the display though.
Thanks for that - i'll get on it and see how close your figure is. That'd be a sweet price for me though..
How about th mid ranged macbook?
Do you have any prices for it? Thanks very much

Simon
are you allowed to use coupon codes when purchasing a system via ADC?...like a $30 off $300? or any other $ off coupon?
First of, after wondering for years why my dad's company all ran Macs, I made the switch last week. I'm a proud owner of a 2.4 GhZ, 2RAM, 160 hard drive (5400). I absolutely love it!
Now to the topic of the thread...
Just to add to the calculation (all prices in USD):
EDU MBP 2.4:
2299
sell free Ipod and printer on Ebay or similar site: approx.: 250 (somewhat conservative estimate)
tax (let's say 130)
Total: 2179
ADC MBP 2.4:
1999
Membership 99
tax (let's say 120)
Total 2218
Difference: 39USD
Of course you do get the free Leopard with the ADC...

I have questions about the ADC Student discount and warranty/support. I read that the ADC purchase only comes with a one year warranty standard.
1. Can you purchase 3 years of Applecare when you buy the computer through ADC?
2. Can you apply a separate, later purchase of Applecare to your ADC purchased product?
3. If I have an ADC macbook pro with or without extra applecare, can I simply take it into an Apple store at any time and ask for a "mac genius" to fix something?
4. If I need to do a warranty return for a repair, can I do it through a store (maybe if I bought applecare?), or must it always be done sending it back via RMA / mail?
Thanks!

I haven't read the whole thread yet, so sorry if this has already been said....
I just ordered my new MBP with ADC. I'm a college student in Denmark, and 18 years old.
I bought the ADC student membership for 750 Dkk(137$), and got the activation code they day after, in my e-mail. I then logged into the ADC login site and checked a box under my profile called student status or something along those lines (Where I had to enter my student ID, This was ofcourse a special danish student ID so i'm sure they had no way to check this)...
I also had to send in a copy of my student ID, Drivers license and an enrollment letter(I didn't have the enrollment letter, so gave them some other official looking paper from my school)
I faxed it to apple, 3 days passed and was denied ADC student membership, I then attached the same info in a mail and sent it to devprograms@apple.com , and this time i was accepted(Bad fax i guess, but I recommend e-mailing them(Faster, Cheaper, More reliable. When you attach something they automatically receive it as a verification submission)..
Another night passed and I checked my assets status under my ADC login, and i saw the "ADC Student Hardware Discount". I then phoned my local apple store and was redirected to a phone in Ireland or something like that, after a quick talk with the sales person i ordered a MBP 2.4Ghz stock model with glossy screen...
I was told I would only recieve normal student discount on any accessories i bought with the MBP. NO ipod rebate in eruope. :S
So here is what i payed...
All prices in DKK, including VAT
Reuglar MBP 2.4:
18.499
ADC MBP 2.4:
14.799
Membership 750
Total: 15.550
Saved: 2.950 or approx. 548 USD
NICE

NICE That's brilliant.
Btw, you don't get an iPod rebate anywhere in the world if you're using ADC, so don't think that you've missed out.
I was told by the salesman that in the US you can get 20% off any accessory (Including Ipod), but max 1 accessory when purchasing a system with ADC discount.
But in Europe you only get normal student rebate (10%) on the accessory.
1. Yes, but don't buy it from the ADC store because its normal price. You can purchase Apple Care from any store you qualify for. EX. If you qualify for the student discount as well, buy Apple Care from that store.
2. Yes, I believe so.
3. I am pretty sure once you buy the MBP, they treat it as any other MBP. The genius is probably not even going to know its an ADC purchase. However, someone else should shed more light on this.
4. The normal conditions apply, again, once you have ownership of the MBP, I am pretty sure normal conditions apply.
