Apple Store Education Web site
|
Apple also runs this excellent UK Web store for those not eligible for educational discount: |
|
From 11am there is also a special Web clearance store with refurbished Macs, iPods and monitors at up to 45 per cent off. Be aware that this is based on the price when the old model was available - often newer models are actually cheaper than the old Mac's base price as well as faster and better featured. If you are eligible for student discount on a brand new Mac that is often a better choice. |

Pugh - Education prices on software 01974 200201
www.pugh.co.uk You may need proof that you are on an official course to get these prices. The software is usually full-featured but at a discounted price. The main drawback is that there is normally no upgrade path for future versions - you have to pay full/education price for the next version rather than just an upgrade fee as you would with a commercial version. You should not use the educational version to produce commercial work.
