[Wiki Guide] The Apple Student Discount

No....you only get it as long as you buy it from the education store as I'm aware

I know... but is there any way around it? Like even if i had to pay for the apple care I still saved money but I'm just wondering if there is anyway i can still get it as I'd rather not spend £140

Everyone at my school has a MacBook so I decided to make it look a little different. What are your thoughts?

Is there a way to access the (Nottingham uni) edu store off campus before I've actually started at university? I want to buy a macbook when the back to school offer starts next week.

I already know that I've passed my course and met the conditions of my firm.

You can go in store and show your acceptance letter

Do you still get the 3 year warranty in store? I thought you had to order online through the HE stores for that.

I could easily order the macbook sans warranty through unidays.

Sorry, not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm a bit confused about the Apple HE discount. I'm looking to buy a MacBook Air through my uni's education store site. I can get about 15% off the price of the MacBook but a bit confused about the AppleCare part. From the online site, it looks like the only extra I get from paying £48 for the AppleCare Protection Plan uplift is an additional 2-years telephone service. From my understanding, it seems that 3 years warranty for parts and repairs is already included for free, as well as 1-year's telephone support. However when I went to the Apple store, they said the complimentary service for students is only 1-year warranty and 90 days telephone service, and that I would have to purchase the AppleCare for £48. For those of you have bought through Unidays, can I ask whether you purchased the additional AppleCare uplift for £48, and if you think it’s worth it?

Apologies if this has been asked before but have apple stopped the free applecare warranty with the education pricing?
I heard it wasn't available instore and only online - but when I'm trying to purchase the new macbook it's saying applecare will cost £48?

Anyone know if I can reuse my student unidays discount on apple in the same year? I want to get a laptop with my sister.

BTW now you only get one year free warranty- to get the additional 2 years, it will cost an extra £48, with student discount, down from £199. This was what the lady said in store.
