Apple's UK Back to School promo starts, gives away new nanos, touches

by Cory Bohon Sep 16th 2008 at 11:00AM

Apple has started their Back to School promotion in the UK. It is similar to the Back to School promo that ran in the US, with the exception of people in the UK being able to get one of the new iPods that released at last week's iPod event.

This promotion is good on the purchase of any new Mac and iPod nano (or touch). Qualified purchasers are "student[s] at a higher education institution, a teacher or a lecturer." When you purchase your new Mac and an iPod nano, or iPod touch, Apple will give you up to £95 via a rebate check. This deal ends October 31, 2008.

You can visit Apple's UK website for more details. Do you plan on purchasing a new Mac in order to get a new iPod nano or touch? Which iPod would you choose? Be sure to take part in our poll!

If you buy a new Mac, which iPod will you purchase?
iPod nano because it's cute662 (31.6%)
iPod touch because it's the "funnest" iPod evar!1432 (68.4%)


Thanks, Dan!

This deal is also available in the German store: http://www.apple.com/de/backtoschool/index.html?cid=WWW-EUDE-BTS20080916-JVS5D

You get up to 125 EUR if you buy a Mac and an iPod. I guess the promo is also available in other European countries.

I am waiting for the new ibooks, so I'll have to wait a little longer pity I couldn't get a nano along with it.

Apple are not likely to launch new MacBooks and MacBookPros before the 31st of October. It looks like a November launch now.

I wouldn't worry about MacBook's being delayed. If you do your research, you'll find that the aluminium iMac came out in the middle of the back to school UK promo last year, and was included in the deal. I have the evidence sitting on my desk, and I intend to pick up a MacBook in the same way this year.

Therefore, still expect MacBook's before October is out.

Same thing happened the year before with the Core 2 Duo iMacs. I ordered the old one the day before the new ones were announced, Apple automatically upgraded me and I essentially got an extra gigabyte of RAM and upgraded processor for free!

I'd get the Nano because I have an iPhone, and no sense in duplicating what I already have.

I'd get the ipod nano. Not beause it's "Cute" but because it has tactile controls.
