<p>ummmmm it's for rebate but i'm not exactly sure about the difference b/w the two.</p>
<p>and does anyone know how long it takes to get the mac shipped from there to CA?
will it arrive in a week?</p>
<p>Are you talking about the student discount? Because if so, every single Apple store gives a student discount at any time during the year; when I got it a few months ago, it was $100 off. You’ll need a student ID, though, which you can get during orientation. Otherwise, honestly, I’d wait until I got to campus to buy a computer, considering all the recent horror stories I’ve been hearing of laptops being lost and carriers refusing to reimburse people.</p>
<p>omg really? I was planning on buying it from the online nyu computer store!!! it’s different from the apple education website since I believe buying it from nyu computer store was a little cheaper by $100. ummm</p>
<p>Yeah, apparently, the NYU Computer Store has gotten a lot better since I last used them, because it IS $200 cheaper to get it from them. Still, I’d wait until you get on campus to purchase it.</p>
