For anyone who might be interested, Apple is offering a nice deal for college students, staff and faculty now through September 8. When you purchase a MacBook (any kind) or iMac, you get a free iPod Touch, which sells for $229. And though they don’t really publicize this, the fact is they’ll apply the $229 to ANY iPod, so if you’d rather have the Classic or another model, you just have to pay the nominal difference.

Not only that, but customer service at Apple was SO nice, that even though we bought my son his new MacBook a couple of weeks ago, just before the promotion started, they extended the rebate to him, as well. He was very lucky…he netted a free printer AND a brand new iPod. You can purchase directly from Apple or through your school’s computer store. We went through the NU store and got an additional $100 student discount.

Anyway, if you’ve got a student and are looking to make a laptop purchase, it’s probably worth checking this out.
