    Hey, I was just about to get a 17 - Inch Macbook Pro when a friend of mine told me that the Macbook Pro is not covered by the limited one year warranty from Apple if it is purchased through the Apple Student Developer Connection Discount. Does anyone know if this is true? I really don't want to spend an extra $350 on AppleCare off the spot.

    Thanks for any help :)

    I can't imagine that would be true. You could of course ask Apple. They will know for sure.
