Today’s quick tech tip….
Save big at Apple’s Education Store (if you qualify)
Are you a current or newly accepted college student? Are you the parent of one?
How about a faculty or staff member or a homeschool teacher of any grade level?
If the answer to either of these questions is yes that means you qualify to purchase a new Mac or iPad from the Apple Education Store and save some serious cash on the deal.
This is a great way to save on that new Apple machine that you’ve been planning to buy anyway – if you qualify of course.
If you’re unsure about whether you qualify or not, Apple’s Sales and Refunds Terms and Conditions page should be able to clear it up for you.
