What Is The Best Way To Get A Discount On A Mac Laptop That Is Still Under Warranty?

Student Discounts
I’m ready to have a good, reliable laptop with which I may travel easily. I go to Umass Boston and I know there is a student discount but I assume there has to be some other ways to get discounts on laptops through computer drives or other companies, websites, orgs, coupons, etc? I don’t mind something refurbished, display models or unpopular styles, colors, etc. I just need for it to be under the full warranty which allows you to bring the laptop to the Apple store for services and repairs.

There is no other way to get a discount on a new Mac, unless someone returned one for some reason, at which point it can’t be sold as new and may be discounted even further. You can buy refurbished models directly from Apple: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/sp… which include a full 1 year warranty.
There’s no education discount on top of the discount you get for a refurbished model. You can take any Mac, under warranty or not, to the Apple Store for service and repair; the only question is what it will cost you to repair something.

The cheapest you can get from Apple is $699 for an older (but still with decent specs) refurbished Macbook. The education store seems to be down right now so I can’t tell if there’s a student discount on top of that.

The Apple website sells refurbished models which are under full Apple warranty. Also try http://www.smalldog.com. Odds are though you won’t need the warranty, except maybe the phone support.

I got a discount for being a student and because my father is a teacher, so if it’s for school you may get a discount.
