A:AnswerThe Macbook pro is the high-end model of the Mac laptop line. 'Better' is relative, the Pro has faster and bigger everything, but that's only better if you need the capability for some reason. If you are just watching movies, surfing the web, and doing homework, the Air is just fine. If you are editing graphics/movies or running multiple Virtual Machines, the the Pro is what you would need.
A:AnswerYes. You can sign up for student discounts through Best Buy (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/clp/college-student-deals/pcmcat276200050000.c?id=pcmcat276200050000). Once you sign up, you can use the current student deals. They provide instructions on the page on how to do so. Right now, certain MacBook Pros are $50 off.
A:AnswerWhen I bought they had the $200 off and I applied for the rewards card and got a 10% in rewards! About $100 dollars that can be used towards a new purchase.
A:AnswerDon’t know how long the sale will last but you can go to Best Buy.com and apply for student credit, you’ll get it emailed to you right away! $150 off on top of the already discounted $1199 price.
A:AnswerI bought this computer, more or less, two days prior to Thanksgiving day (so basically 3 weeks now) I asked the very same question, sadly there wasn't a student discount for this laptop. It is a very good computer, though. Has exceeded my expectations!
If you decide to purchase it I would recommend that you get a USB-A to USB-C adapter since this computer only has two USB-C ports and (in the case that you get the 121 GB model) an external hard drive would come in handy.
