Last chance for free Back to School iPod touch
Another Summer is nearly over. No, it’s not the kids heading back to school or the falling leaves that tipped us off — we know the end is nigh because today’s the last day to take advantage of Apple’s buy a Mac and get a free 8GB iPod touch deal.
Apple’s 2009 Back to School promotion — Buy a Mac for college, and get a free iPod touch — officially comes to an end tonight at midnight and you definitely want to think twice before letting it lapse without taking advantage.
How good is this offer? If you go as cheaply as possible, getting the entry-level Mac mini ($549 w/ edu discount), here’s the breath of what you’ll get en toto: 2GHz Mac mini w/ 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, 8X SuperDrive and 9400M graphics, plus a free printer (up to $100), free shipping. And, yes, of course, the aforementioned ($229) 8GB iPod touch for free.
That’s $878 worth of stuff for $549 plus tax.
As always with Apple, the free stuff is after rebate, but the company makes it painless to take advantage by putting the entire rebate process online — it’s stupid simple and requires no clipping, mailing or any other such nonsense. Apply and get your rebate in moments.
