Buying a mac for the first time, have a few questions (Buying in the U.K.)?

Question

I'm about to start university next month, am I eligible for the highest student discount? What percent is the discount? Does the student discount apply to accessories? Is it true students can buy the Applecare Protection (for my macbook air) for £50? Does the plan cover accidental damage? If not could you give me some examples of what it would cover? Could you recommend me (bearing in mind cost) the thinnest yet most effective hard case for it?

Thanks very much

Answer 2

This Apple MacBook Pro MC700LL/A is one first class laptop. I own 5 Mac computers, including 2 Imacs, one being a G3, 2 laptops, and to this day a Color Classic 9" Mac, that still works. I have never had a problem with any of them. The only thing I have ever had to do was replace a battery in my G3 Imac.



The new MacBook Pro is my favorite. The Snow Leopard OS is so easy to use, and far superior to any Windows PC. If you want a computer that is made well, has an operating system that is very easy to learn, and use, this is it.
