You can probably take advantage of any current cashback offer to reduce the price even further.
I have also checked the student store and the price seems to be the same.

The Intel version is also one sale at a similar price point. It just depends on your needs as AMD version would provide much better battery life and less thermal throttling. Hence you don't actually see official battery life stats on the Intel version. The Intel version has Thunderbolt ports if that is what you require.
