U-M is the place for Apple product savings

The University of Michigan and "inexpensive" are not usually mentioned in the same breath. That is, unless you're a student looking for the latest in tech that's below normal market prices. LifeHacker recently used U-M as an example of where to buy Apple products on the cheap.

Excerpt:

I can back this up at my alma matter as well, and it works for hardware, too. Take a 13" MacBook Pro, for example. At Apple.com, you can punch in your college and get a nice $168 discount, but buying that same model from the University of Michigan's Computer Showcase gets you an extra $50 off Apple's discounted price. Furthermore, the University offers a package of computing essentials to first-years, including Microsoft Office, a laptop sleeve, an 8 GB flash drive, a 4-port USB hub, Ethernet cable, and a security lock, adding even more value to the overall package. You have a bit less leeway as far as customization goes, but they still have a pretty wide range of models available.
