Hi all,



Does anyone know if I can get a student discount on a Mac bought at an Apple Retail Store (UK)? If so, what proof do I need that I'm a student?



Thanks!

    Yes. If you're a higher education student, you get 15% discount, and you need to log in to the Higher Education Store from on the computers at your university. It checks your IP address, and that's the proof you're a student.



    If you're any other type of student (although I believe you have to be over 18)and buy online you get 8% or so discount, and they don't tend to ask for proof. They might do spot checks or something, I guess...



    In the retail stores, they give you the 8% discount on hardware, and an NUS card is required. There's no discount on software.

    not sure about the UK, but here in canada, i got 200 dollars off of my 2200 dollar macbook pro on the student discount. ipods no longer get student discounts though. and software does apparently get discounts. someone told me that leopard has a student discount, leopard is software, therefore i'd assums there's software discounts.

    They've also got a £85 rebate on iPods if bought at the same time as your Mac, running to October 30. This is also available from the retail stores.
