Like years past, Apple is offering a deal for incoming college students, and it’s more or less the same one it has offered in the past.
Students who buy a Mac (which includes the MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and iMac) will get a free iPod touch or iPod nano. My advice: go with the MacBook+iPod touch combo. You can’t bring an iMac to class, and an iPod touch can do so much more than a nano.
Keep in mind that you’re actually getting a $299 rebate and not an iPod touch or nano, but the idea is that you’ll use the rebate to buy an iPod.
Like it says, enjoy your time at school.
From Apple’s website:
“Purchase an 8GB iPod touch or an 8GB iPod nano with your Mac and qualify for a rebate of up to $299.*”
So if you don’t get the iPod, then you don’t get rebate.
Pretty good deal, I’m planning on picking up an iPhone 3G and selling that iPod Touch could soften the impact a little bit on the wallet.
Does anybody know if the Apple “buy a Mac and get a iPOD touch” is also true if you are a teacher?
when does this start?
Amy, Yes this sale applies to students, parents of students, and faculty of K-12 institutions, and institutions of higher learning. My sister is a teacher and will be purchasing this combo next week.
This sale is effective immediately and is good until September 8, 2009. All rebates must be claimed by October 8, 2009 to receive your money back.
