    Education Price is permanent.

    $100 gift card is seasonal.

    Apple is so greedy now. This is nowhere as good as the old free iPod Touch deal.

  no matter windows or mac, if they (students) got their priorities right, they will opt for the cheapest deal. you don't need a mac to run adobe nor you don't need windows to run office nowadays.

  spend that money saved on booze and girls (or guys if that's your thing), then you'll have a better time in school.

  just don't end up becoming the nerdies decked out in full spec'ed mac or windows laptops in school. ;)

      it is true. ;)

      what's more… here's a priceless gem for blokes in school…
      no matter how cool your ipad/iwhatever is, nothing beats buying your own car (even if it's a $5k bomb).

      it's going to get you laid a lot more than looking trendy. ;)

      and pick up guitar… don't ask why.

        from my experience the labs were full of the unwashed. It was nicer to sit at home, program, then submit the assignments remotely.

        Agree, you'll need to use one.

        You stated you "need one", which is wrong. Sure, it's nicer but you definitely don't need one.

        I have a double major in CS from ANU and was fine with paper and a pencil.

      went through my comp degree w/o bringing a laptop to school.

      there's no need for a laptop for school.. you can do your assignments at home and then submit remotely.

      going to school is just a stack of a4 paper and a pen for me.

      distributed computing, advanced oop, advanced java, c++, etc…

  i don't know about you guys but whenever i see an uni student flaunting a mac who's not in a graphic design related course i judge them right then and there ;)

    And I would assume you would be somehow trapped in 1997 and must seek help immediately. Walk through a campus library, at least 60% of students have MBPs.

    Yeah, because anyone that is interested in graphic design and has a mac predominantly for these purposes is not allowed pursue a career in any other field? Or do you expect them to have a different laptop for every purpose Judgy McJudgesauce?

      you don't know.. a mac adds +5 bonus points to your graphic design skills.

      like wise, pocket protectors and suspenders gives you -10 in charisma with girls. ;)

  I'm assuming you don't get the gift card if you purchase from Apple Store but ask them to price match another vendor's 10% off sale.

• 

  cinderella8701 on 15/01/2013 - 11:47

  What is the actual gift card? The title says 'rebate' does that mean cash back? or $100 store credit? Or is it iTunes store credit.

  Clicking on the link, it talks about apps, and movies and books etc you can buy which would indicate an itunes card. Which is barely a deal at all considering the iTunes deals you can get.

  So what actually is it?

    "The Student Gift Card may be used on the Mac App Store, the iTunes Store, the App Store and the iBookstore."

  A lot of secondary students now require an iPad as part of their book lists (well in private schools anyway). From what I can gather this deal only applies to tertiary students?
