      New model coming any day now.

      • Daybreak3439 on 11/03/2024 - 18:37

        Yeah, I'm waiting for the new iPad Pro to drop.

        I reckon it's coming in the next 2-3 days tbh

        Cashrewards deal is only until tonight.

        Apple Gift Card Promo is open only until 13/03/2024.

        So I reckon iPad Pro 2024 edition, or at least the news, will be released 14/03/2024.

        Savings of 160.00 + 8%, which lets just assume is another 160.00 from a minimum purchase of $2000

        $320.00 off a previous years unit + pencil + Keyboard (which had a previoul ATL of $350.00 IIRC).

        If you wanted to hedge your bets, we could just put the order in. Wait for Apple's release. If it's no good, keep the M2 iPad. If the M3 iPad is better, cancel or return our order :|.

      Did the MBA exclusion apply to the older M2 as well?

    • snvl on 11/03/2024 - 18:17

      Edu store doesn’t sell those

      • jolegape on 11/03/2024 - 18:24

        I mean I can go to the EDU page, and browse to iPhone and it maintains the banner at the top of the page saying Education Store.

        I'm not in a rush though. I'll wait until the main Apple store has 8% cashback to purchase.

        • snvl on 11/03/2024 - 18:26

    THAT'S CRAZY! I have been waiting till last minute to decide to get the 16 MacBook Pro. I basically got it RRP $4300 down to $3394 (less cause I just did quick maths and with gst price and also including deducting the $240 gift card from price). That is absolutely crazy!!! Best time ever to have upgraded from my old MacBook! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    • Soled Out on 11/03/2024 - 20:21

      Which one did you get? M3 pro 16gb 1tb?

      • v7dal on 11/03/2024 - 20:52
        +1

        Just base m3 pro. That is more than enough for me as a student. I had a monitor but sold it and upgraded my 14 M1 Pro to this with the bigger screen. The base 16 comes with 18GB of memory which is absolutely insane!! And 512gb base storage

        • Waxhedd on 11/03/2024 - 22:19

          What are you doing with your 14 M1 Pro?

          • v7dal on 12/03/2024 - 15:17

            @Waxhedd: Studying and and all round entertainment device. So it’s my desktop (sold monitor, mouse and keyboard to fund this), tv, and laptop. I just really appreciate the screen. Like compared to my monitor nothing comes close to 120hz promotion or the mini led xdr display. And found without a monitor my 14 was cramped. This is 100% overkill but I just love my MacBook. Also I didn’t want a MacBook Air 15. Also did you get it, since the Cashback is now over?

            • GJT on 20/03/2024 - 13:34

              @v7dal: You thinking of getting applecare+ as well whilst it's 20% off?

              • v7dal on 20/03/2024 - 14:23
                +1

                @GJT: Yeah I am. Definitely. Can always get a prorated refund if needed or transfer it to another new Mac. For me the yearly cost is easily worth it. Waiting for complimentary AppleCare to finish then adding it at 20% off.

                Fun fact I sold my other MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro because I was scared to take it out and use it properly cause it didn’t have AppleCare . I would def recommend esp at 20%. Works out to $170 per year for a computer worth $4300

                    • GJT on 20/03/2024 - 15:52

                      @v7dal: Do you know if we can buy it online or is it in-store/phone only for the discounted price?

                        @GJT: I spoke to online and they said instore. I went instore and they said the discount is attached to your serial number. Then I’ve heard that the 20% only lasts till 10 days after promo (23rd march). So I’ve heard a few things but just have to wait for it to allow me to purchase. I have documentation showing I’ve tried fixing this and I know the guy who I spoke to in Apple who assured me. Cause as it is my complimentary AppleCare is well over 7 days which is their fault not mine

                        • GJT on 20/03/2024 - 21:54

                          @v7dal: True, I'll let you know how mine go. I plan on calling before going instore if required.

                            @GJT: Sweet please do! I will do so as well!

                            • GJT on 22/03/2024 - 15:47

                              @v7dal: So mine expired yesterday. I tried buying AppleCare+ directly through my device, and it showed the non-discounted $449 price. I called Apple, and they were only able to give me the normal student discount over the phone, which makes it $399. I explained how I made the purchase during the promo period and also went on to explain how, because of the deferred sales rules in AUS, I couldn't purchase AppleCare+ straight away. The rep was from the USA, so he set me up with a callback from a supposedly AUS AppleCare+ rep. The rep called me back at the scheduled time but was clueless as well about the 20% off promo. I was told the best course of action would be to return to the Apple store so I could make the purchase at the discounted price.

                              I went into the store today and said I was here to make the AppleCare+ purchase. The person who assisted me told me that since the promo period is over, I could only make the purchase now at $399. Since I had a screenshot of the promo page, I showed her the deal terms and conditions which specifically list "To accommodate Australia’s deferred sales rules, the promotional Apple Education Pricing for AppleCare+ will be available for eligible products purchased during the promotional period for 10 days after the promotional period ends." She also saw my point of view and then went on to get in touch with her manager. Later on, she came back and informed me that since she can't edit the price from the system, they will bill me for $399 (Normal student discounted price) but put that I paid by $40 cash and the rest on my own payment method. This way, they were able to match the discounted price for me.

                              Overall, it's a long and lengthy process. If you have your student card and think it's worth the extra $40 hassle, go in-store to get your discount. Otherwise, ring them up, and you can get the $399 student discounted AppleCare+.

                              • v7dal on 22/03/2024 - 23:35

                                @GJT: Wow thanks heaps! I knew this would be the case. And yes I will do so. Unfortunately mine expires well over the 10 days (purchased online 11th March and it expires 27th March!) so I will go to them tomorrow to make sure they know. It’s really unfortunate but I have all the evidence. I send you a pm asking for the promo terms screenshot please so I can do so myself! Thanks so much though for the update!

    Shame MacBook Air isn’t included. It does make me feel less salty though lol, as I bought 15” air with 512gb/16 during last Black Friday. I got $150 Cashrewards, $320 gift card. Also claimed gst back when I travelled and I used discounted Apple gift cards. If you don't need a device in a rush you can plan the purchase (like I did) and save lots.

        • GJT on 11/03/2024 - 23:19

          MBP 14 with the m3 pro seems to be the sweet spot.

          • Jigram on 11/03/2024 - 23:22

            @GJT: Yeah it looks like best value and future proofing. I’ll be travelling in the next 60 days too. Unfortunately it doesn’t come in space grey, by far my preferred colour I think

            • GJT on 11/03/2024 - 23:37

              @Jigram: Yeah you'll have to settle for black. TBH it's not that bad of a colour choice. Given the current deals I think you won't regret it.

              • Jigram on 11/03/2024 - 23:39

                @GJT: I’m going to do it and return if I change my mind :) that way can lock in the cashback. You reckon M3 pro better than normal m3 and just upgrading to 16gb?

                • GJT on 11/03/2024 - 23:45

                  @Jigram: For me my main requirement was getting a base model with 16GB ram. After researching online it seems because of memory bandwidth limitations etc M2 PRO is what hits the gold spot for value given the current prices. M3 pro is what seems to be the current gen recommendation. So for me given the price difference M3 pro was a no brainer. For you I think the the cashback will sweeten the deal further for the M3 pro. Plus like you said if it doesn't work out you can always return it at Apple without any hassles

                    - 10% GST back (travelling shortly)

                    I do wonder if I've overkilled it. An MBA 16/512 m3 may suit me just fine.

            • evasive on 11/03/2024 - 23:59

              @Jigram: Silver is undoubtedly the best. Timeless and doesn’t have colour coating over it so when it gets scratched/wears, it doesn’t look crap

              • Worf on 12/03/2024 - 10:55

                @evasive: What do you think of space grey? Does it fair better (fingerprints, scratches) than midnight?

                • evasive on 12/03/2024 - 10:59

                  @Worf: I would say space grey = midnight on the M3 pro.

                  The midnight will have a bit more fingerprints but both have the better anodized coating

                  Silver = king for wear though.

                  If you were to cut through space grey or midnight you find it’s silver under the coating, which is what happens to the borders of the USB-c ports over time.

                  Whereas silver is just silver the whole way through and is the best in terms of fingerprints and scratches by far.

              Specs wise, I definitely don’t need the power of the M3 pro either, but the screen is just so much better than the air that’s it’s worth it imo.

                  @Jigram: Most certainly not. The airs screens are far more inferior to the 14” pro’s. 14” pro has proper HDR, way brighter, mini LED, 120hz, etc

                        @evasive: Arrived today! A beast but quite the chunky monkey! I might return and get MBA 16gig

                          @Jigram: There is a bit of a shortage of stock of the 16gb. Mine just shipped last night after ordering Friday.

                          You can get a shorter shipping time by customising the middle tier to a higher spec, rather than just buying the highest spec.

                            @AaronR: What’s the use case for yours?

                              @Jigram: Pretty light duties for this one. General “office work” kind of things. A little bit of music production if I ever get free time.

    Seems that the 5% deal is still one. Bummer I missed out on 8%. Though will still take it.

    Anyone who bought yesterday got their order tracked yet?

      @aveeno bb I am still waiting for this - I think it can take a few days from past experience. Did you receive yours?

      • aveeno bb on 13/03/2024 - 20:44

        Not yet. My order is sitting at the pick-up point, and I will pick it up tomorrow. Hopefully it will get tracked soon, to avoid the hassle of having lodge the investigation.

        • rrvd on 13/03/2024 - 20:47

          My order just got shipped today - so i imagine it’ll come through in the next few days

          • aveeno bb on 13/03/2024 - 21:19

            @rrvd: I just got an email confirming the order tracking. Item price - gift voucher value - gst * 8%.

      Mine tracked after the invoice was issued (after pickup)
