Lol tip for anyone buying a macbook...

[Sublim&All]

I saved 10% on my MBAir with this student discount. Bought mine online, I actually had to log in with my student username and password via another student webshop.

Yeah, the normal EDU discount is not all that much - but for the crowd enrolled at or employed by a university/college: check if your institution participates in the Apple-on-Campus-program. It's a better discount (15% if I remember correctly - but don't trust my memory too much ) than the normal educational one.

apple student discounts: brings the price down to what it should be!

Christ you guys. How could any of you feel the slightest bit of guilt by getting a couple hundred off your already overpriced macbook, run by a company who has them made by 14 y/o children in china for a few cents an hour...

Seriously 1,700 for a laptop that is worth half that with its specs? And only paying for the brand and the overall way it runs? It's s rip off, and the people running it are in the top 1% of wealth.

Get your priorities straight.

I totally agree - everyone moaning about how it's wrong to do that, give me a break.

And yes Ksandvik above me...I was having a great day until I saw your 525th pointless post on this site

I can see how some people can post on line about how wrong it is or how its fraud (probly the same group that have never broken any law no matter how little or dumb it may be IE: Jaywalking)

Realistically if it was fraud then apple would enforce it. They use it as a tactic to get the sale if need be. As someone who works at a dj store that advertises "B-stock, open box, warehouse resealed, etc." and actually ships a brand new unit just uses that as a way to get a product to a customer at a better price I'VE NEVER had anyone call me and say they were supposed to get a open item and got a new one. The practice has been around forever, you can literally charge any insane amount for any product and get some people to buy it, however, you also want a legitimate way to lower the price for people that are better informed on value.
