Unless you have a lot of Apple gift cards or you're doing a customer order, why would anyone buy from Apple when you can get better deals from other retailers on almost every item? And that's even after factoring in the 3% daily cash back you'd get with the Apple card. Apple's Black Friday deals just aren't competitive.

Ignore the great deals from other sellers. Buy from Apple for more $$$ and the premium buying experience.

Is this promo available on the edu store?

I second this question. I’ve been wanting a Mac mini and this might do it if the promo is available with student discounts.

It’s unlikely the Mac Mini will get a lower price once the M2 Mac Mini is released, huh? ?

The article says “the offer cannot be combined with educational pricing.”
