From now until September 15, 2008 Apple is offering up to a $299 iPod rebate to Students and Faculty who purchase both a qualifying Mac (MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and iMac all qualify) and iPod (8GB Nano and 8,16 & 32GB Touch qualify). Unfortunately you’ll have to shell out money for both the Mac and iPod and wait to claim the refund for the iPod. However, if you’re lucky enough to live in Connecticut or Rhode Island, the rebate is instant – so there’s no waiting for them to send your free iPod!

    Why do they assume it will be bought by parents? I have to buy my own MacBook Pro when I went to uni…

    It’s aimed at the American market, Mitchell. Cut them some slack. :)

    I happen to have a niece who is starting college in the fall and wants to buy a Mac. I counseled her parents a couple of weeks ago to wait a bit (and to check for deals from the college, actually.) When she hears about this, I am sure that she is going to say, “Sweet!”
