Bummer. I was hoping for just edu pricing in general. If I ate a lot, would that help?

EDU Prices for Individuals need to be much higher - like 20%

Yes, apple needs to raise education prices because...wait a minute. Dell and the PC lot also offer great price cuts.

Why offer price cuts? A) A mac user now is usually a future mac user b)I'm sure they get some type of goverment tax break for educational sales. c) Universities are more and more going to PCs because they are cheap. Dell already gives large discounts to universities that sign exclusive agreements with them. D) today's students are tomorrows businessmen. People who've used a mac would more likely base their business around a mac platform.

I think he meant DISCOUNTS need to be higher. As in 20 % off. That would be cool. Like the Student Dev program, but you can buy more than 1 computer at the discount.

oh the joy, finally payment for hours of corrections on my english papers!

Having a mom College prof DOES pay off :\

Too bad she ont get a g5 anyway :(

Away with the PHD

Realy though, any actual significance?

1. while i welcome this - why do you think this has happend?

2. what about prices for UK, France, Germany and so on?

I don't remember what the prices used to be, so I can't tell if there have been price drops, but my Higher Education discount nets me a G5 1.6Ghz for £1,205 ($2,282) and a dual 1.8 for £1,633 ($3,089). The exchange rate used here is from xe.com, about $1.8/£1. Now looking at the american Apple Store prices.....

Even with the largest discount (14%) an undergraduate can obtain for a single computer for themselves in the UK the standard non-edu prices in the US are $600 cheaper. I don't know about you, but this just seems wrong to me. Seems a bit too extreme actually, I might be mistaken

prices in us stores are without tax as far as i know.

still apple doesnt get that ppl can actually compare USD to GBP to EUR...
just everyone can - apple has to fix the prices somehow to be at least almost the same in us compared to outside of the us
