Thinking about a Mac or an iPad for your studies?
Finding the right computer for your studies is a big decision whether you are a student or a parent. Both Mac and iPad are very suitable for your studies and will be a good choice. To find out if a Mac or an iPad is best for you, think about how you like to work and what activities you want to use it for. Many students choose to use both. And with Continuity features on all devices, they work great with your iPhone, so you can, for example, copy pictures and notes from your phone and paste them into a project on your Mac or iPad.
Discount
With Apple’s education discount, you can save on your new Mac or iPad, as well as key accessories and AppleCare+ service and support. The education discount is available online and in-store. Below is more information about this year’s higher education offerings, available on Apple’s Education Store.
