Not so, Apple offer 10% Educational/Student discount. No discount is good as they hold value and it does not get into a price war. You know what you will pay and not see it in Dick Smith the next day for less.type3lover wrote:I also know that they rarely discount (would you if you were only making 4% on it?), it's much harder to buy software for them and the cost of repairs is high.... you know why they make PCs? ... to keep fkwits off Macs
Not harder to buy software ... 90% of the worlds creative product is made on a MAC. Mac runs anything XP, cause it can run XP. Cost of repairs is not higher, simply because they are more reliable - they build them to last 5 years, which is the average time a Mac User has one.
I run a network with 900 PCs//Laptops and Macs. Last year I repaired NO macs, but pensioned off 80 PCs less than 4 years old as they simply can't run later versions of software from people like Adobe at a decent pace.
Sorry to burst yer bubble.

they also offer a govt discount which is the same as the education but also comes with the extended warranty. also ive never broken one beyond being fixed and thats saying a lot about the macs. ive seen them dropped down steel steps and even been folded in half ( not the way they are suppose to be ether) and they still have been fixed
