Hi,
I was on apple.com and came across this link:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=709334C3&nclm=ADCStudent
I was wondering how it works because once you have it activated you can get approx. 20% off (via hardware discount) everything apple is selling. This link is the discounted store.

Has anyone does signed up/used this program?

Apparently, some people say it's not worth the cost.

The student membership is 99.99. It comes with a copy of OS X and and hardware discount. If you sell the copy of OS X on ebay, you can get about 80 bucks for it . The hardware discount is 20% off. So for a 17 mbp, it costs $2239 rather then $2799. So in essence, you can get a 17 mbp for less then $2300 if you sign up to be a student developer.
I dont understand why this would not be worth it.
Has anyone done this or know of some one that has done this?
Thanks -
Its only worth it if you are a student and also if you plan to buy something above $2k price range (mbp, mp etc....) and also upgrade what ever it is that you're buying (memory, harddrive etc...)
Some one either on here or another forum just bought a refurb mbp c2d 2.33 for around 19xx shipped. That's the same price I paid for my c2d 2.16 w/ 2g ram a few weeks ago, but mine was new. -
I can't tell you if that is worth the money, but I can tell you that I just got a refurb mbp 2.33 for $1999 plus shipping. Delivery was delayed due to weather, but I should be getting it tomorrow.

Yup, it provides no discount on the software and no discount on the warranty.
It ended up being the same price when I bought mine as the regular student discount. And you can only use the ADC discount one time. Student is once per year. -
You receive monthly developer software from Apple and a free T-shirt!
When you first sign up they send a copy of the current version of OS X and from what I have heard you would receive a new OS X DVD if a new version comes out during your 1 year membership.
I bought my MBP with a student ADC membership and am waiting to see if I will get a free copy of Leopard.
A while ago I read these two threads on macrumors.com saying that you receive a new copy of the OS if a newer version is released, kinda makes up for the $99 if that comes.
