Quick question: what has your experience been buying computers through your student’s college educational discount?

D has a fairly new Mac, but I was thinking she could give this to her sibling and get a new one. When I looked at the Apple educational discount and compared it to the same model at Best Buy, Best Buy actually seemed cheaper. (I am assuming I was comparing the same models.)

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?
