Apple offers added deals for students and educators

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. Apple is again offering some extra incentives to students looking for new back to school computers and tablets. Education buyers get impressive discounts and through August 27th Apple is offering gift cards…from 100 to 150 dollars for the purchase of an eligible Mac or iPad. What to buy? Director of Mac Product Marketing Colleen Novielli..“Some things you might want to think about are, for example, do you have a long distance that you’re going to be walking and so something like portability becomes increasingly important to you. If you’re going to be away from the dorm most of the day, battery life might also become incredibly important. Of course, performance is something that many people are going to be considering and a lot of times that will come down to something like your major.”Novielli suggests a visit to an Apple store to get the best advice for individual situations.
