What do you think is the cheapest way to get a mac? My internship requires/advises me to get a mac and the cs4 suite. So im gonna get a 15 inch macbook and I need photoshop, flash, and illustrator. After effects and dreamweaver would be great bonuses but they only use text editors to make their sites.
So would the cheapest way to get a mac be by using a student discount? I heard I could get a 10-15 percent discount. And i heard I could get the web premuim pack for like 400 bucks with student discount. Not sure if I should get the web premuim or the production premuim because the production premuim has, ps, illustrator, flash and after effects. My brother has a buddy who could get me a large discount since he used to work for apple. I could try and convince him to talk to him. |

Not getting it refurbished...
The thing that bugs me is that I dont know whent he next one will come out and when it does mine will be outdated and ill want the new one. Apple is so good at that... Im looking forward to it. 1600$ for the 15 inch 2.53 and a free itouch! its free after rebate atleast. Including the tax, I total at 2000$, and then after itouch rebate its 1750. Then the web premuim adobe package is 350. And my parents said they are gonna pay for the software and the tax. They're so kind.  But then I will only have 1100$ left in my bank account  Im a bad jew. Good jews save money and use pc's. |

Good jews save money and use pc's. Upgrades come every other season so they just got all the new macbooks and stuff like like a month ago (spring), so probably, in September, they'll upgrade the specs on the models, probably the same time as the release of snow leopard. Or just shortly after.. Well, my advice is spend the money now, before college comes, and you have like 100 other things that have to be paid for. That one macbook pro should last you a very long time. Also get apple care. Especially for someone like you that tinkers around. |
