Apple Canada Student Promo!
So, my sister is pretty sure she’s going to buy a Macbook to replace her old laptop. Because she’s still in school, she’s eligible for the Education discount. And she said she’d wait for Apple to offer a free iPod with the purchase of a computer – since they do the same promo every year before September. Then she’d just give me the iPod (!!!!!). She said she would refuse to take money from me, since she has an iPod and has no need for a new one. And she’d rather give it to me than try sell it for money, since mine is currently garbage. My sister is great.
I just saw that the free iPod promo is going on right now on the Apple Canada website. The 8 GB iPod Touch is what she’d get for free if she bought the Macbook. For $70 you can upgrade to the 16 GB and for $170 the 32 GB. I’d probably go for the 32 GB since I already have 18 GB worth of music. And for $170 (+ tax)? That’s a killer deal considering the 32 GB is $429, and the Classic that I was going to get is $279.
Previously I said that the Touch was too flashy to take traveling, even though it’s the iPod I really really wanted. And I still think that’s true. Actually over the past month, I’ve been thinking about not even bringing an iPod with me when we go on our trip. I never listen to music when I’m out and about with BF, and if we ever felt like listening to music, I could just load our songs onto the netbook and bring a pair of headphones or something.
And if I really want an iPod on the trip, I could buy a refurbished or older generation Shuffle (less than $50), and load music via my netbook while we’re on the road. That would make me feel safer (with a music player I could hide a lot easier than a Classic), and I would still come out ahead money-wise. Something to think about for sure.
