<p>For those of you who are thinking of buying your grads a new PC, there are two key dates you may want to consider before you buy.</p>

<p>First, starting 5/20, you can get a free XBox 360 with the purchase of select PCs from select retailers.</p>

<p>Second, all Windows 7 PCs purchased on or after 6/2 will be eligible for a $15 Windows 8 upgrade</p>

<p>Make sure you comparison shop if you plan to do the free XBox deal. Some retailers may raise their prices a little (happened last year).</p>

<p>Usually the Apple Stores will grant generous discounts if you can show a college student id (logging into MyBama works, too). Often they have a free printer option also. The Supe Store also has an Apple Store inside and offers deals.</p>

<p>I’d suggest holding on to your receipts and also purchasing Apple Care. We love our Macbook Pros. When you purchase the computer, it is a good idea to scan important info in to save such as your receipt. It could come in handy someday.</p>
