Discount with Apple?

I can't access the internet at University until I return to see the discount, however is anyone able to inform me how much discount they offer students through the education section on their website?

I would like to know how much discount they offer, off the Macbook (and MacBook Pro)

    I got a Black Macbook for £850 which is a good saving :)

    Best thing to do is ring them as they will give you all the prices you need :)

    I think it's around 13% but it's best if you can go into an Apple Store as opposed to doing it online as I got more discount in store than I thought I would after checking online.

    If you do it online though you get a 3yr warranty for free. In the shop you only get a year unless you pay £58 more.

    When I've bought things in store, I know that the discount varies, they have a book that dictates how much you get off depending on what uni you're at

    Also, if you are gonna get it from the apple online store, the prices on the education part of the store seemed to be higher than if you went via the link on UCAS track

    The UCAS link was about £50 cheaper for my macbook than on the ordinary education site

    That link doesn't give the full discount its meant for those at school or college. You get around 13-15% if you use the Higher Education discount which you can only access from a university network. There did used to be a link on UCAS Track which gave around 15% off as well but although its still there it stopped working and just has an error.
