Not a deal. Just get it from Apple education store for 499 and it is open for all.

the same people in this thread calling it fraud, are the same ones in the home depot thread buying the tool and battery and returning the battery.

This sounds like retail fraud that you are telling people to commit. Is it worth it over $100? Ask yourself that.
The poor trillion dollar company. How will they ever recover?

If worried. Sign up for any online class at a community college, buy mac while legally a student, drop class for the refund.

Is the student discount order online then pickup in-store working? I did that 2 years ago for iPad, the guy at the store was like 'Are you a student?'. I had to say it's for my sister haha. Gave me a hard time for no reason.

Worked fine for me

The SSD in the Mac Mini is upgradable, its not soldered in.

This. Was an awesome discovery. It's also dual channel, not single on the 256gb.

Apple DGAF if you're a student or not. They are making such a killing on their overpriced hardware that they will sell to anyone. They finally splurged the extra $10 for 16gb RAM and people are acting like it's the second coming.

If you like their stuff buy it. If not don't. Simple as that.

They make docks where you can add any SSD brand or you can also use any external SSD. It's not a big deal at all…

The discussion wasn't about if external drive options exist. It was about the removable internal ssd, specifically.

My mindset is not to go to the Apple Edu website to get a discount or become a fake student, but to find deals from online retailers. Promoting Apple Edu and not being a student is not a mentality that most people should have just get a $100 discount. You know where I'm going with this. I could care less if Apple is a $3.43T valuation company.

So, since you could care less, you actually do care.

Glad to see you got off your high horse.

BTW. Education discount isn't ONLY for students. . Faculty, Student, Parents, etc. Try and read the terms before you spout how it's fraud.

LOL.
