Apple doesn't ask for any proof. Literally ANYONE can get the discount. The fine print, if I recall, even says parents can buy for themselves.

Please tell me the process of buying with apple id balance
Have you loaded the amount to your apple account? Login to your account and add the required device to cart and during checkout it will show the available balance in your account and you can apply that amount and pay any remaining balance using credit card and place the order.

I dont know how it happened, but Apple sent me 2 x Airpods. They said I qualified yesterday since I purchased my Air on a few days ago.

I bought my iPad Pro 12.9 on May 21st. called Apple, and after they verified that I bought it thru the education discount, they let me get the AirPods Pro for the promotion price of $90. Just an fyi for those with previous purchases.
Anything you said to convince them? I bought my MacBook Air on May 27th and they said they are only retroing the promo to June 6th.

My understanding was, even if you use costco citi card at apple, citi will still provide extended warranty, is that so?

Is that only if you use the Costco Visa Credit Card?

Otherwise, you get 2-years?

Can you install Windows on new Mac Mini (M1 or M1X Chip)?

Quote from tommytqt :
Not thru bootcamp. U can install Windows thru Parallel software.
tommytgt is right, and to be clear, if you use an M1 based chip, you will get Windows for ARM. The Windows for ARM is unable to run the typical x86/x64 software and only does so in emulation.

If you need Windows support, get the MacBooks with Intel chips.

Any ideas about how to choose between a base iPad (no discount) and an iPad Air ($50 off and free AirPods)? Main uses would be content consumption and digital art.

For iPad Pro educational pricing it looks like bestbuy is 50 bucks cheaper but no AirPods.
