Please do! Did you have to spend a certain amount to get the gift card? Which NYC store?

Let us know how you like your new toy when it arrives...

It's just the education discount, guys. Talk to a rep at your Apple Store as they always offer edu discounts. Some stores, if they do enough sales volume, will often have a business sales specialist and they will give business customers 5 to 10% discount on new system purchases as well.

Put in my order with the local Apple Store. They say they can get it to me quicker than the 3-4 week wait since I put my name on the list for the config I want and I'm first in line for that configuration. So they're thinking the store will get one before I would get it if I ordered online. We'll see....

If you know an Apple rep they can often give you a better discount than the education price without having to lie - I actually qualify for education but I got my last Mac even cheaper (saved about $360) just by knowing somebody and asking for a discount. It differs on what the item is though - I could only get about $60 off the Cinema Display.

Everyone knows about it, NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT.

Someone please tell me when they think they'll actually need 16 Gigs of ram in the near future; how near, 1 year, 2 years, 3?
I'm trying to decide whether buying a 16gGhz Retina configuration willmake sense withing a year or 2, because if it doesn't, what's the use?

This is good, but if you know an employee you can get a tasty 30% off...knowing a genius is great, but sometimes it's good to know a "genius".

bare in mind the ram in the retina macbook is soldered into the logic board, making it an apple-only upgrade later on.

I got the same thing for $2600 cash.

And I didn't have to use student discount.

Most of us (student) doesn't have cash (lol) - Just a Barkley Visa Card (0%APR - 12 months for apple product)

RAM is not upgradeable, you'd be wise to max the RAM. 16GB is needed if you want to future-proof your MBPro
