If College stuff only constitutes web browser, word processing and email then by all means purchase it. A really good price and more than enough if those are what your needs consist of.

Sounds like a good deal to me. I believe these go for $1,500+ refurbished at the Apple Store. Are you still eligible for the free ipod touch? and free printer?

most likely.

If it does come with a free iPod and Printer you could turn around and sell them. You would be able to knock off around $200 with those.

I'd take the $700 discount. That is an excellent deal on it, and it is plenty for a college student's needs.
