Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience buying something using the education discount on the online store. Particularly those from the UK.
I was considering asking my friend, who is at university, to buy me a Macbook Pro. I understand that he needs to do it from a networked computer at the university and this is no problem... but I was just wondering if there was anything I should be made aware of...
- Are any checks performed to double check the recipient is a student? Apart from needing to order it from a campus uni?
- What about the warranty, if say I need to take it into a Genius bar, the person behind the counter won't know that it's a student version will he? Will I need ID?
- Does OS X come with some sort of Student version?
I'm planning on asking him to order the laptop with my Apple ID. I hope this isn't a problem?
Thanks all, I'd appreciate any help, thoughts etc. Anyone done this before?
