What vendor doesn't charge taxes?
Same price as apple edu?
Agreed not a great deal. The benchmarks so far indicate that 16GB may be unnecessary with the efficiency of the new chip.

I need deals on 16gb models out here
Apple is the only place selling the 16GB right now, and AFAICT if you order it from them online you'll get it at the end of December or early January. Rumor was that third party retailers would start to sell them in mid-December, but unless Apple was planning to significantly ramp up production I don't see that happening.

This is the same price as Apple's educational pricing. I'd rather buy straight from Apple unless someone has some info to make this sweeter.

Amex has $25 off $250

Nope. They don't verify. You can purchase without an EDU email.

Quote from DubRebellion :

I believe kalatoker was saying since it's the same price as Apple edu AND you can upgrade the SSD and RAM there, might as well get it from Apple rather than Adorama. I agree. 16GB RAM upgrade at Apple.edu is $180 vs the normal $200.

Tip: Buy 10x $100 Apple Gift cards from Target (or Best Buy when that goes live). Use that to buy your MacBook from Apple edu. Then you have $200 in Target gift cards left over. Also, don't forget to use your favorite cash back sites and/or credit card rewards mall offers if applicable.

No, they don't verify, it's on the honor system. Any email will work for ordering. Also, the CB site I use does offer 1% at Adorama vs 0% at Apple on laptops. So that would equal an additional $9-20 off compared to the EDU store.

Quote from JK1982 :
As much as i like the m1 chips i would rather wait for gen2 m2 chips. Its amazing what apple has done with their chipsets. As long as third party support gets involved i can see it as the future

I'm also waiting for the next generation for the kinks get smoothed out & for more developers to update their apps.

With these computers, it looks like most Intel programs should emulate fine, but ppl should do their research to make sure the apps they regularly use are properly supported.

I know there's some audio production & software developer tools that still aren't supported yet.

I really was hoping to upgrade from my 2017 model but buying the same RAM and SSD 3 years later doesn't make sense at all. Also being a guinea pig for the M1 processor isn't a wise choice either.

You do not need to be a student. You just select a check box stating that you are buying it for a student or educational purposes.
