Apple’s education pricing offers sweet discounts, complementary Beats, and more. You might want to add these A+ deals to your cart:

For the college freshman: Save up to $200 on a MacBook (and get Beats!)

Every new college student needs a good computer, and a MacBook is an excellent choice for its portability and power.

You’ll be ready to pull an all-nighter with your favorite jams to keep you going.

For the accident prone: Get 20% off AppleCare+

All Mac models come with one-year of hardware repair coverage and up to 90 days of complimentary technical support, but we couldn’t blame you for wanting a bit of extra care.
