They do not offer college discounts, they said they’d price match apple but you would have to pay full price first. If I were you I’d go through apple for the college discount it’s only a $100 difference but it’s better than nothing.

Lighting fast speeds!!!
Im currently a CS student and my needs vary from assignment to assignment. I usually need 30 tabs plus to complete some projects and I thought 8gbs of RAM was not going to cut it. I stand corrected as the M3 silicon chip is the quickest and optimized pipeline processor I have seen at this price point. The battery life lasts all day on a single charge and the weight of the this laptop makes it easy for travel and work. In my opinion if you need something more powerful than this laptop youre better off buying a desktop and using this laptop to virtual machine to it because this MBA 3 is extremely capable!

Open Box MacBook Air 15"... YES PLEASE!!
MacBook Air 15-inch Laptop - Apple M3 chip - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD (Latest Model) - Midnight. It saved almost $300, and the e"open box" was listed as in excellent condition. All standard accessories were there, and you couldn't tell it was ever used. With the money I saved, I added Apple Care. The machine is wicked fast and just super cool. Glad I went back to Apple. I will always look for "open box" deals moving forward. Awesome Job Geek's :-)

Awesome computer!
Love this computer. The keys are smooth and soft and response time is quick. I love the bigger screen it allows me to have multiple windows open at once, which is great for school, work, and multitasking as well as entertainment purposes. The bigger screen is worth it because the laptop is still light and slim. 10/10 recommend, whether it’s work time or family movie night! Battery life is also long lasting.
