MacBook Pro with student discount

Hello
I just read somewhere that if you buy a MacBook Pro (or any other Mac) from the online Apple Store with a student discount that it is a refurbished one you get. This because it's with student discount.
Is this true?
Thanks!

I do not believe that is true.
See: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/campaigns/back_to_school
Or were you talking about a different discount?

Macbook Pro and Student discount

Hi,
I am planning on purchasing the 13 inch mac book pro. I want to take advanatge of the student discount to save $100. Since this Macbook is on sale for $60 off, is the savings combined, or just the $100?
Also, if I use my school email (for the code) and ID but my parents buy it (card in their name) does this affect anything?
I appreciate any help.

Its the sale price plus $100 off.
An issue might come up with you paying with a parents cc. Technically your name has to be on the card, but if the cc is signed on the back the cashier isnt supposed to check id (or isnt required to) so you should be fine if it is.
I used to work for Best Buy as an Apple Specialist, but all my comments, posts and opinions are my own and do not in anyway reflect Best Buy. Mostly because I think the exact opposite as Best Buy anyway

Macbook pro 13" Student discount

Heej,
i live in Holland and next month i'm in the USA for a month. Is it possible that i can get student discount if i buy a Macbook there?

To The Apple Discussion Boards!
No one here can answer that as we are just users like yourself & not employees of Apple. Call the online or offline Apple store in your country & ask them. They should be more than willing to advise you.
Good luck!

Buy a MacBook Pro using Educational discount and ISIC

Hi,
I'm a Brazilian student and i'm traveling to US this month. Could I use my ISIC(Internacional Student Identity Card) to buy a MacBook Pro with Educational Discount?
Sorry for my poor english, I'm still learning this language.
Thank you.

Terms and Conditions:
Those eligible to purchase from the Apple Store for Education Individuals include faculty, staff, students and parents as follows:
K12 - Any employee of a public or private K-12 institution in the United States is eligible. In addition, school board members who are currently serving as elected or appointed members are eligible. PTA or PTO executives currently serving as elected or appointed officers are eligible.
Higher Education - Faculty and staff of Higher Education institutions; and students attending, or accepted into a Higher Education institution are eligible to purchase. Purchases from the Apple Store for Education Individuals are not for institutional purchase or resale.
It says that just who studies in a American K-12 institution is eligible for the discount. But I study in a Brazilian University, and for this I think that there is no restrictions. I just need to confirm this information.
Could anybody help me?
I don't live in the USA, that's why I cant call for an Apple Store and ask this for them.
A MacBook Pro here costs something between 2000 and 2500 dollars, that's why I want to buy one in the US this month.

Combining Mover's Discount Coupon and Student Discount Coupon on Macbook Pro with Retina Display

To whom it may concern,
I've recently saved up enough to buy a Macbook Pro with Retina Display 13.3" with 8GB Memory ($1235) and I read on a few forums that you could combine the Mover's Coupon and College Student Coupon on the Macbook. However, with that discount, many customers had trouble because the sales associate/manager said it wasn't applicable to apply the Mover's Coupon and neither was it applicable to combine both coupons.
As a result, I called my local Best Buy in Brooklyn, NY (Bay Parkway, Store #599) in advance to double check if it was possible so that I wouldn't be wasting my time trying to argue with the store manager, etc. The sales associate said generally, I couldn't combine two coupons regardless of what type they were.
I was wondering if combining the Mover's Coupon and College Student Coupon still applied to the Macbook Pro.
If it did, would it be possible for someone to directly contact my local Best Buy store manager or sales associate that would be ringing me up and explain how to do it and that it is possible to combine the two coupons. I also have a $100 Best Buy gift card that I intend to use with my purchase so I was wondering if that was applicable on top of the Best Buy coupons.
Attached is the link below for the specific Macbook I intend to purchase.
Thank you for your help.
Best,
Wilson

Hello Wilson,
MacBook Pros are fantastic machines! I have owned one myself since 2010 and it’s still running smoothly. They can be quite the investment so I can understand why you would be looking to combine coupons and use a Best Buy gift card.
Best Buy gift cards are accepted as a form of payment, so you shouldn’t have trouble using a coupon and a gift card together. You can check out more information on forms of payment on our Payment Methods on BestBuy.com.
I would like to discuss your desire to combine these coupons further so I am sending you a private message. You may check your private messages by signing into the forum then clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.
Sincerely,

What MacBook Pro with Retina Display is recommended for college students?

I'm trying to decide which MacBook Pro with Retina Display to buy before I go off to college. I want to get the 2.6 GHz, 16 GB of RAM, and just the 512 GB of Flash. But I don't know which one is better for a business major. The 2.6 GHz Pro with Retina, or the 2.3 GHz Retina. My concers are the space, and this computer is suppossed to last me 4 years.

I'm a college student as well and I'm going to be a sophomore engineering major. I'm currently sitting on a 2007 white MacBook. Yes, it is from the stone age. However, over 5 years, I have only used 280 GB of space. I'm going to order a 2.7GHz, 16GB, 512 SSD R-MBP this weekend, in the hopes that this, too will last me about 5 years. Honestly, if you have the money to drop, I would buy the fastest possible configuration, 16GB ram, and a 512 SSD so that you can comfortably use your computer for another 4-5 years. My white MacBook served quite well for 5 years. The thing about newer technology is that it may last longer. A Core2Duo processor from 07 is nothing compared to Ivy Bridge now. So I would max out the configuration if I were you. By 2017, Intel is going to be making processors that will make this R-MBP look like crap, so consider "future-proofing" your computer for the long run.

Will 13 in Macbook Pro with Retina 2.6 ghz be good enough for engineering student

I'm purchasing a new macbook and not really sure which one to get. I have been thinking about getting the 13 in 2.6 ghz Macbook Pro with Retina, but will that be good enough for engineering programs such as AutoCad?

I agree that it would be slow, but the biggest limitation is RAM. 4GB simply won't, er, cut it.
A similar mac with at least 8GB, and a fast external drive, would work, even if not very speedy.
It really comes up to time, as babylonslim said.
If you need to cut very quickly, you need a machine like he described. On the other hand, I have no doubt that my very own, very old 2010 17" MBP could do the job - it has 8GB, and I use an external drive connected through e-SATA. The GPU is not nearly as fast as present day ones, and it only has a dual core i7 GPU. It would take longer, but it would work.

When is the safe time to buy a Macbook Pro with retina display

Hi,
I saw some issues lately with Macbook Pro with retina display in discussion and it seems the number is increasing. It might be a bad batch. I want to order one and I have to do it online (because of a student discount) and it's going to be hard for returning and swapping.
How long should I wait to have more stable MBPR out there to order one? Or it's not like that and bad batch could happened anytime.
Thanks

Thanks for reply guys,
About student discount, I'm currently at Malaysia and there is one store in our University which has student discount and he said he's not going to have retina display in his store anytime soon. So I have to order online which it lets me order from education store easily and btw I want to upgrade the RAM to 16G.
And yes you were right about this place and the numbers of people with problems. I did use 14-day return policy once it was so easy and awesome. Then there is no worry here and I can order mine too.
Thanks again

This will be my first time buying a laptop and I was thinking about the macbook pro with retina display but the price is a little to high I was wondering for any suggestions? Like other ways to get it cheaper?

Actually you could get student discount from apple and a 10% dicksmith with limited time and I think jb hi fi gives even better discount. But lets see what other people think?

Help! Macbook Pro with Retina Display!

Hi Apple community.
I hope you can help me. 1 year has passed with my Macbook Pro with Retina display (15-incher). Got a small but visible ghostning. All the uper dock is visible in darker background. I couldn't believe it until I discovered with a bit of code and Terminal App, that I had LG screen which many said had problems. I thought I had a Samsung one since I really took care of it and never seemed to notice anything, until now. My guarantee just went out and I didn't purchase any Apple Care because I never thought I needed it and as a Student, my budget didn't allow. It took me 3 months to achieve the amount required for payment for this laptop. What can I do, is there a way Apple could show sympathy and repair my Macbook Pro? I live in Sweden and currently study. All the necessary programs are in my Macbook Pro.
Please share some advice, I'd really appreciate it.

Firstly, I'd like to know which will be the better base model as a notebook... if this is possible?
But, for info sake, I will be using it for composing on Sibelius Software, lots of word processing and browsing.

Thanks,

MacBook Pro with Swiss keyboard in US Stores

Dear all,
I am looking for a MacBook Pro with a swiss keyboard layout. I know that the Store in Switzerland is selling such laptops, however they don't deliever to US. Since the MBPs are produced at the same location, there is only an Apple "internal"-ordering issue, which needs to be addressed to solve my problem.
Does anyone knows if this is possible? I mean you can order Norwegian keyboards in the US store besides many other layouts.
kind regards

I'm an American student looking to buy a MacBook Pro
with a Hebrew keyboard in the United States. I've
seen these laptops in Israel, but they're much more
expensive there. Does anyone know if these are
available in America either online or in-store?
I don't think there is any way to get that in the US. An alternative would be to use skins or keyboard stickers.
Here is some general info on typing Hebrew, in case it is of interest:

Trying to Order Macbook Pro with Japanese Keyboard - From Canada

Hi everyone,
I'm a university student majoring in Japanese and I have been trying to order a Macbook Pro with a Japanese keyboard.
Apple.com seems to let you order a Macbook in a number of different languages but Apple.ca only gives English and Canadian French.
Would anyone know if Apple.ca is planning to offer the same?
Thanks a lot,
Tom

Hi Jellois123,
I recommend you call into the online store and ask for further assistance. I know that I can't order every type of keyboard layout from the online store but a good friend of mine was in a very similar situation and the people over the phone were able to arrange the custom order.

Upgraded standard macbook pro vs base macbook pro with retina?

So I'm getting a new Macbook pro for college and the two I'm looking at are about the same price with different benefits. I'm looking for a versatile computer for everything I will do in college. I dont run any super intense photo programs or video editors, I just game and am a standard user. Also I plan on running bootcamp and playing some games on the computer. It's between:
-a Macbook Pro with retina display
    base specs of 8gb RAM and 2.3ghz processor and I would also buy an external optical drive
     The only Cons are that im not sure if 256gb SSD is enough for boot camp and everything i would be doing
-Macbook Pro Standard 15in
   2.6ghz processor and 8gb RAM
   750gb HDD 7200rpm
The price comes out to about the same so im really torn between a retina/portability vs 2.6ghz processor and optical/ethernet
so basically    2.6ghz vs. 2.3ghz       and        750gb HDD vs 256 SSD
any help?

If you are going to load a lot of Windows games, your would probably need the larger HD. If you are using it primarily for school work, internet then 256 SSD is probably enough. I have a Windows partition on the retina version with 256 SSD, and have 140 GB remaining free. But I do not game and use Windows only for Quicken. If you are a student and are going to be carrying around your computer a lot, you might appreciate the lighter weight of the MBP with retina display. However, other poster are correct, there is no upgrade path with either MBP.
