The annual Apple "Back to School" began: Students who buy a new Mac (not including Mini) will get (after rebate) a free iPod Nano (8GB) or a free iPod Touch (8GB) or $299 towards purchase of a bigger capacity iPod Touch. No discounts for Classic or iPhone. As a student you are also entitled to student discounts. For further details go to Apple.
Similar deal also in Canada.

Does not include purchases of the Mac Mini.
Note this is not just for "students". Teachers and anyone who qualifies for the edu store can get the deal. Also you get an HP Photosmart C4280 FAR with purchase.
It is actually the $99 printer rebate on most printers, not just the HP... can apply the $99 rebate to lower the cost on more expensive printers. Keep in mind this is a rebate on both the iTouch and the printer, though Apple rebates are usually fairly painless, you have to pony up the $400 at the time of purchase.
Anyone care to speculate if they will use this program for iPhone discounts once they are released (most likely in the next couple weeks)?

Refurbs have always been excluded in the past. The rebate form lists specific eligable models.

Yes, that's right. Go to the Apple Store and ask for a Big Mac, show them your student ID, and they will "Touch" you for free.
darn! Just bought a macbook two weeks ago!
Can you get both a free ipot and a free printer? What if it does not show a free printer at my school website? How do you order it and get a free printer? I am interested in Macbook pro. Will the price go down or get a better deal that I don't need it for school until Sept.

10% restocking fee at Apple Store. It still might be worth it depending on how much you value your time and the hassle.
Actually, its a 14 day policy filled with caveats. Yeesh.

Why would you do that with the WWDC on June 9th? 
Now I just have to decide whether to get this deal or go for the cheaper refurb or student developer price and no ipod 
or buy from Amazon and save on tax, but no ipod

Sure, they'll throw in free iRollingPaper as well

The specifically exclude the iPhone and the iPod classic.. it is only for the iTouch or iPod nano.
How much of a discount do you get for Student Developer?
rdowty said:How much of a discount do you get for Student Developer?
Last time I looked an extra $200 from the regular student price on a MBP (of course you have to pay $99 to become a student developer..so it's really a $100 savings) and a pretty nice price on the Mac Pro...but then no free Touch or Nano.
I'm similarly bummed, I bought a new iMac at their education store a week ago to get the Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium for $399 deal. I could have gotten a fee iPod Touch as well if I had waited.
(Edited to add: Screw you, Toper!)
Any idea when this offer is over? (looked it up couldn't find it anywhere on their site)
I don't start school for almost another 4 months and I'm wondering if I have to fork out the dough pronto or if I can wait a little to have more wiggle room for the extra expense previous to receiving my rebate check back. I'm getting a 2.4Ghz macbook (w/4gb ram upgrade).
if you have a discover card you can also use the shopdiscover website to get an additional 5% back.. i can confirm this works with edu purchases
