Simply Mac has the new base M1 MacBook Air for $899 or 799 with .edu email. The 512GB/8 core GPU model is discounted by $100/200 too, as low as $1049 with EDU discount.

To see the EDU pricing, you must create an account with your .edu email address and sign in with it. This should then show you the education pricing.

Looks like this is a one day only sale (12/23) so be sure to get your order in today if interested.

I have been using the base 256GB/7-core GPU for the last month or so and it has been great. I will be returning the one I have to Best Buy that was purchased at MSRP. I would gladly keep it, but a 20% discount cannot be ignored.

Why wouldn't people be expecting to be charged tax? I bought mine on the Apple EDU site and of course had to pay tax.

Thanks, this is a good deal -- cheaper than Apple stores EDU pricing by $100. I just placed an order for the Base Air, and it looks like I'm not being charged for tax either unless that's coming when the order ships? Maybe because I'm not in a state where they have a physical location..

Unfortunately, can't get this to arrive before Xmas 🤷

That just got me thinking. I wonder if my kindergartener's email is .edu . Sounds crazy but they set them up with accounts for remote learning 😂 I know it has the school name at the end and I'm vaguely remembering it might have .edu

Edit: nope it's a .org
