Student discount one OR Apple Certified Refurbished ?
M2 refurbished or new w/ education discount
Refurbished or new? Student discount?
Is there a way to apply the education discount to refurbished products?
Unfortunately, no.
This will work with a military/veteran discount, but that requires proof of service.
More on reddit.comHi there, I am a master's student studying computer science in the United States. I would like to purchase a 14-inch MacBook Pro.
A new 14" M3 Macbook Pro with an 18 GB 512GB SSD will cost me $1959.94 (taxes included) when I use the student discount.
I also checked the Apple certified refurbished store, and the M2 Pro 16GB 512GB SSD 14" is available there for $1694.94 (taxes included).
With the refurbished, I save $265. But, as a student, I consider the product's longevity; that is, I do not have to pay more money for any flaws.
Should I get the refurbished model or the student discount model? Also, AppleCare+?
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: As suggested by everyone ordered the refurbished one.
