<p>I hope so! I need a new iPod. I know the Apple Store near me has been doing a different deal where you get a free computer instead.</p>
<p>In recent years, it seems as if the back to school promo starts a bit later than this, and extends through most of the summer. If I were thinking of getting a computer, I would wait to see if it is offered this summer. In our family, we have gotten iPods with all our computers by buying during that time.
The computers aren’t on sale–it’s just that they give you the iPod, usually a medium-priced one, although you can pay the difference to upgrade. It’s a good deal!
For the education discount (which applies to this promo, as well as being good all through the year) we have always had to specify which school. In the store, they have sometimes asked for some kind of proof of enrollment, like an ID card or any kind of letter from the school.</p>
