Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

I need a student discount, so I can afford supped up 27" iMac.

Does it work with college students? I could give my MacBook to my stepdaughter and get the iMac on her. Or you need to be an uni student?

I just ordered a macbook and the guy on the phone asked if I was a student and what I was studying, but that was it. I even lied about my course (said computer engineering) so he wouldn't talk to me like an idiot and they didn't even check that I am actually a student at my uni. Saved a couple hundred off a macbook and about £500 off a £1600 macbook pro.

I phoned up to get applecare on a macbook pro and the lady on the phone asked if I had children in full time education. I said yes and she said I qualified for the education discount. I think apple are quite relaxed about giving the discount, but the taxman would take a dim view of it if you were to then claim it as a tax deductable business expense.
