I just picked up an iMac for my wife and she loves it. She signed up for a web design class to take for fun and through Apple was able to get the student discount of $100 for the iMac.

She also picked up an iTouch and Printer as the rebates covered them completely. The rebates were easy to process and she received the rebate checks in four days. She will probably keep the iTouch and sell the printer on ebay or Craigslist for $50.

The final kicker was if she were to purchase Adobe Create Suite 3.3 Web Premium (includes Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and numerous other programs) at the same time as the iMac, which was needed for her class, she would get that for $299. Retail on that directly through Adobe is currently $1599, and was offered at Apple for $1399.

Great experience, now debating on whether or not to pickup a MacBook Pro and eliminate the remainder of our PC’s that are lying around.
