For him, not you. 
As much as I love the discount, it's not huge and doesn't apply to all products. He'll probably only notice a 5% discount at most. Well, that's my cynical post for the day. Haha.

For you or for your son
LOL, actually the entire household will benefit, I want a Thunderport display and he wants a Macbook for school so if we get them we'll both be able to use the display
He's been playing with my Air & I'm having a devil of a time wrestling my computer from him

Paying for Apple products is the least of your worries about having a son entering college! ;D

I thought it meant that your household expenses would drop by at least 50% and you and your wife could have a life again...
You're assuming he's paying for it!

please clarify who "he" is
the OP, being a "babe" is probably female
LOL, yes I'm female, my son is a great kid but he sure won't be the person paying for the Apple goodness yet.

Wow. I forgot about that. Seems like a good deal to get a tablet and/or computer when I go off to college. I will need it. Especially for what I want to go to college for.

You need a computer in college regardless! Just starting my second term tomorrow morning! Good luck to your sun, Geekbabe! And good luck and best wishes when you get that tuition bill... I know my parents almost went into shock when they saw mine... (Assuming it is you the parents that are paying for school!)

Oh, so do I.
My 11" air w/ a dock, a peripheral multitouch track pad and a wireless keyboard.
That's my ideal set up.

- Way... way too many specs to list.
That's because there's no cost involved in that product. The vast majority of every dollar it earns is pure, unadulterated, profit.I got $50 off Apple Care thanks to a student discount. That's a heck of a lot more than 5%.
