Are there any other discounts for the Macbook Pro besides the student discount?
I am not going into college and i don’t know anyone who is so i can’t use the college student discount. I would really like to buy a Macbook Pro, but i don’t have 99. Are there any other ways to lower the price, like discounts or sales and do you think the prices will go down for the christmas holiday?

Buying a used Macbook Pro is pretty much the only way that you can get one for considerably less. Sometimes you may be able to find one on Amazon, but your best bet is to buy a refurbished one through Apple.
Most of the refurbished computers are computers that had problems when they were first shipped out to customers. Then, the customer sent it back and Apple fixed the thing that went wrong… and put it up for sale again at a reduced price!
Apple is a very reliable company and prides itself in its great customer satisfaction, therefore you know that you’ll still be a quality Macbook Pro that has been fixed properly… almost good as new. This is what Apple says about their refurbished products:
"Before we put a refurbished Mac, iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV up for sale in Special Deals, it undergoes a rigorous refurbishment process to make sure it’s up to Apple’s tough quality standards. We back it with our standard one-year limited warranty. And you have the option of purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan for it."
Refurbished Macbook Pros are normally 15%-25% cheaper than the original price, which would usually be in the $900 range if you’re looking for a 13 inch.
That’s still a hefty price, but it’s cheaper than the original. Apple doesn’t offer many sales or discounts (and most are only for college students). There’s a chance it could come down a little for the Christmas season, but if it does, it won’t be by much. You probably won’t find any quality Macs cheaper than the refurbished ones, so buying a refurbished is likely your best bet.
Good luck!

No. Apple doesn’t do discounts. Either save your money and use the student discount or don’t get one.
You get a free iPod touch and a free printer. You can easily sell both of them to recoup costs.

One thing is for sure, the price won’t go down.
If you want a cheaper Mac, what you can do is:
1) buy an older version (but still new) from amazon.com, or similar sites…
2) Buy a used one (not recommended)
and these are my ideas.. i can’t think of any more.
