<p>I'm an international, and my school requires me to purchase a laptop from the four they've prescribed: Macbook, Macbook Pro, Dell Latitude 630 and HP Tablet. The laptops are going to be shipped directly to my school, so yeah. My question is: I really want to get a Macbook because of the free iPod +free printer offer for college students, but Apple doesn't accept international credit cards, and my school says they can buy it for me but then I don't get the offer. Are there any alternative ways I can pay through that allow me to avail of this offer? I'm sort of clueless--as is rather evident. Thanks a ton for your help!</p>
<p>Okay, don't know where your from, but check out this: The</a> Apple Store - International</p>
<p>I looked at the UK site and it looks like they still offer the discount.</p>
<p>Okay, I'm from India, and it's not listed on here.</p>
<p>Anyone? Please. :)</p>
<p>You might be able to pay for it through Paypal, or something? I'm not sure what Apple accepts. Also, you'll want a mail forwarding service, so that you can get it shipped to India. Or you can just wait until you get here and buy it at one of the Apple stores.</p>
<p>You cannot order a macbook with the educational discount in India. Wait till you get to US.</p>
<p>I'm a little confused as to if I should buy the laptop through my school or here, because it's proving out to be a tad cheaper in India (which sounds absurd, but is true).</p>
<p>Is it a better option for me to purchase it from India and cover it with 3-year international warranty? Am I likely to face any challenges once I'm in the US with a Mac from here?</p>
<p>I'd really appreciate any help I could get on this front. Thanks a ton!</p>
<p>wait till you come to us and order your macbook/ipod touch there?</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>Yes, please, I'd really like as many votes as I could get on this front.</p>
<p>Thank you all for all your help.</p>
<p>Just wait. Because the tad amount you are talking about is worth the wait. You get a free ipod and printer too so wait.</p>
<p>Ajay, do you mean we should order it online when we get to the US or get it from an Apple store?</p>
<p>It varies. If you want to get get it from a store in US so be it. It works either way. BUT just get it in US.</p>
<p>Yaar now in India too .... the apple scheme of discounted macbooks is available. I mailed apple guys and within 20 mins they called me up detailing on their products. In fact student discount is slightly more than 200$ on some macbooks however including taxes and all becomes too expensive :(</p>
<p>I myself am about to buy a macbook pro..... and as for ipod bundling u looking for wait for 2 weeks Vodafone launching iPhone 3G in India according to techtree :) You can use ur saved 200$'s for iphone.</p>
<p>Just wondering though which college in India makes it indispensable for u to buy laptops within the choices u mentioned?</p>
