I know. What I mean is, do you have to click an affiliate link, submit a rebate w/ receipt or UPC, buy gift cards, coupon code etc. in order to get the 20%?

$1999(with 2GHz, 1GB (512mbx2), 7200Hard Disk) + $99 = $2098+tax
[*It's $2017 if you want only5400HD)

$1599(with 1.83GHz, 512mb, 5400HD) + $99 = $1698 +tax

I think 1.83GHz system is a better deal since it costs only $80 to get faster 7200 Hard drive (It costs $160 for 1.67GHz system ,

Let me know if you have any question

is the faster processor worth the $160-240 price difference between the two versions with a 7200 HD?
Heres my math:

Cheapest configuration with a 7200HD: $1759(with 1.83GHz, 512mb, 7200HD) + $99 = $1858 +tax ~ $240 less than the 2.0 version..

Same memory as the cheapest 2.0 configuration with a 7200HD: $1839(with 1.83GHz, 1GB (512mbx2), 7200HD) + $99 = $1938 +tax ~ $160 less..

Just ordered a macbook using the ADC program and this is what they sent me:

I am a University student, but I'm not in any computer classes and don't have a computer major. I'm going to send them a copy of my school ID and I am trying to think of something else that verifies my enrollment, but doesn't show them what classes I'm in. *Crosses fingers* Here goes nuthin.

I'm in a CS major, programming, but not currently enrolled in any tech classes -- still getting my general ed out of the way. They accepted a copy of my ID, and my class schedule as proof. (Humanities and Mathmathmatics.)

Send them your schedule, they really just want to make sure you're a student. YMMV, of course.

I'm actually just a law student. Still a student right? Man I'm hoping this goes through Come oooooon macbook!

OK, I faxed over my student ID and schedule and they even accepted that even though I'm in law school and not a CS major. woo hoo. Gracias Apple and Submitter!

eastgold said:I want to ask a stupid question~~If I want to buy a macbook pro with 20% off,should I have to pay for $2268.13
or just $2098 at last?
There are formulas:
Duo 2ghz + tax + ADC Membership = 1999.2 + 169.93 + 99 = 2268.13
Duo 2ghz + ADC Membership = 1999.2 + 99 = 2098.2
than you ~~~

Wow, why didn't just ask if you had to pay tax?

Yes, I think apple charges tax in most, if not all, states.

hehe I have seen different price,a little puzzled

I am still waiting for 12" MacBooks to come out. I need the portability of 12". My PowerBook will be my wife's as soon as one of those MacBooks come in 12".
I hope they release it soon, because I graduate soon.

They should get that out before summer I think.
First, 12 inch powerbook no longer on their roadmap, and the 17 inch has been delayed for months.
