  I'd personally shop around for a 2020. New gen cpus, 256 gb base storage and most importantly fixed the godawful cancer keyboard.

  RRP is now $1600 so you don't need a huge discount.

    Judging by the website it's targeted at school kids.

    Edu pricing for the new Air on Apple store is like 1.4k + i5 upgrade brings it to 1.5k or so.

    Much more bang for your buck.

    Jb hi-fi will usually match the 10% educational discount without proof

    Thanks, serious question what is the “cancer” keyboard?

      The 'butterfly' switches keyboard. It's the worst keyboard on a laptop - if dust or dirt gets into the keyboard, then the whole thing just breaks and stops working. Basically, functionality was sacrificed in the name of aesthetic: https://www.macrumors.com/guide/butterfly-keyboard-issues/

        Ohh.. thought it was a health issue.
        Yes my daughter has a 2018 model and the space bar had issues. Apple swapped the whole keyboard out and the replacement is better (different model keyboard), but still that crappy butterfly design.

      Ones with butterfly switches which fail once dirt or grit get in between the keycaps.

  $1699 for the i5 2020 model with 8/256GB is better value IMHO. Even less with education store price.

  i would advise people not to buy this model
  1. terrible keyboard that still fails, keys will get stuck when minimal amount of dust gets stuck inside
  2. it has a fan that is not connected via a heat sink and is spinning alone without cooling the cpu, you can see it @ ifixit

  it's better to wait for 2020 13 inch equivalent macbook pro which might feature a 14 inch screen

    Or just go for the 2020 Macbook Air.

    • 

      XanderYuan on 01/04/2020 - 12:46

      2020 still has a fan that is designed that way, so bad cooling as one would expect

      • 

        Thayer on 01/04/2020 - 13:16

        Is that an issue?

          XanderYuan on 01/04/2020 - 13:48

          @Thayer: it is not the best cooling method, so they do overheat and since the chip is more powerful in the newer versions, you would want better cooling

  This is not a deal. Please buy the new model from the Apple Education store. :)
  Upgrade the processor for $100.

    Do you have to provide a student ID or something to purchase from the Education store?

  Terrible keyboard and tiny storage for $1300+ - this is not a deal in any stretch of the word. Avoid.
