Okay, from what I've heard it seems that I will but a Macbook Pro for college and become a first time Mac user (yay!). But does anyone know when (if ever) Apple will give out those Nanos along with the educational discount? It seems like a decent deal with all this quality stuff you're getting.
We did that last year with our son. Our daughter swiped his computer so we bought him another one this year. List price was about $2K. 10% discount on the computer brought it down to $1,800. We paid for the Nano and got a rebate (relatively painless process for a rebate). We did this in August. Apple is releasing new MacBooks in June so I think that they won't announce the Nano program until after that. The program might be used to clear out Nanos before new model introductions too.
