<p>I'm considering buying a Mac (which are pretty pricey as it is) is it worth it to get it through the school? The dell option through the school is even more expensive so that is ruled out. I know that if you buy it through the tech store they give you 4 years of tech support, but do i still need to buy apple care as well? trying to see what are the best/cheapest options. also, in general is it worth it to buy a mac as a student</p>
<p>If you look a month or so back this exact issue was discussed. I bought my laptop through UMD because the comprehensive warranty plan. I did not buy a Mac because some of the engineering programs dont run on it.</p>
