My brother is graduating High school and wants a Macbook for college, parents are giving him $1200 which can get you on the low end of the Macbooks and Airs so I want to help on getting him the best bang for the buck. I didn't go the Apple way on my college computer so don't know the best way to get one.
My parents just want to go to Best Buy where they are $70 cheaper but that get's eaten up by sales tax immediately. Isn't the best way to buy from the Apple Store directly with the education site? Does the discount extend to refurbished? Would the discount apply to the old Ivy Macbooks once the new Haswell Macbooks roll out? I'm trying to get him to wait on the refresh but so far he won't listen.
