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.

I meant a 15 inch macbook pro. So do you think I should go in to buy it or buy it online. Im almost certain it counts for high school students.

You do know that it says K-12 teacher, administrator, or staff member right?

i used my student discount, too. pretty sure switching over to a mac was the best choice i made this year... so far.

When we met he would have mentioned it. But seriously I could save the most money by using a student discount. Except I could save more if the guy that used to work there helped me out. But it looks kind of like, student discounts and employees are in the same boat so maybe the discounts are the same.



good job not being able to read.

k-12 teachers/administrators/staff/etc does not mean high school students. so no, you're not eligible for the student discount.

holy shit, i get you're only 13 or 14 or whatever, but you are seriously one dumb as shit kid.
