Years ago, when I got my first Mac, I got it through my university at the educational discount from Apple. That was clearly a good deal way back when, but is it still a good deal today?

Yup. The university discounts used to be pretty good 30+ years ago. Now they’re not that great at our schools. Costco or Microcenter is always at least as good or better. The one thing that is better at our university comp centers is the discount offered on Applecare if that’s important to you.

I’m holding off on buying my D’s computer until the end of June so I can see what the options are.

Good thought. The pc market has been soft this year. Maybe offers will be aggressive.
