I really want a macbook for the summer. Im a student graphic designer so I'll want a few of the Adobe applications (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and a few over basic applications (iLife, Web Browsing). I planned on getting a macbook with Leapard pre-installed once its released in June/July, but I heard it's been pushed back to October. I don't think I can wait untill then, so I was thinking of buying a macbook now and getting leapard put on it later when its released. Does anyone have an idea on how much it would cost?

Student price for Tiger, the current version of OS X, is $69. Go to the Apple Store, click on Education and provide the appropriate information about your school, and you are directed to the Education Store. Some prices there are great, others just a bit less than normal.

Following yesterday's updates, you can get the base model MacBook with 2 GHz processor and 1 GB RAM for $999 with your educational discount. Tiger is $69 with the discount, and the Adobe Creative Suite retails at $399 for the whole package. Ain't it great to be a student?

Usually the student discount offered through the school is way cheaper than apple store discount when it comes to software. Last year I got Office 2004 for mac for 27 bucks through my school and my wife got her CS2 Premium for less than 200 bucks. Check with your school first to see if they offer software like office, adobe, and others at discount.

I second Tavin on this...alot of students aren't aware of the ridiculous discounts they receive on software through their school.

I don't mean to be mean, I meant it in a spirit of love.
