<p>Cornell store has an agreement with Apple and Dell to get an institutional education discount, which is a bigger discount than you would get yourself as a student. </p>
<p>I just went through it for a Mac. You need to go through the link provided by Cornell’s technology store to get a quote from Apple (you’ll need your cornell id and pw). Once you received the quote via email, NOT to contact Apple, you are to call Cornell Tech store, give them the reference number and they would order the Mac for you. If you contact Apple directly, they will not honor the price because it is a special price for Cornell, not for individuals.</p>
<p>I lucked out, because when I called Cornell to order the Mac, they happened to have a few left overs from the senior week that they had put on sale. I was able to buy a Mac for 300 less than what’s listed on Apple’s website.</p>
