Free iPod touch with computer purchase

Here's an example of how getting an education pays. College students or faculty and staff at any grade level can get a free iPod, including the iPod Touch (worth $199) when they or their parents buy a Mac computer with "education pricing." The Macbook starts at $949.

This deal started a few days ago and goes through September 7, 2010. Make sure you purchase the iPod Touch at the same time as the Mac, then submit an online rebate within 90 days from when your order ships. The maximum iPod rebate is $199. You can check the status of your rebate online once it's been filed. Make sure you qualify for the freebie before you spend.

If you live in CT or RI you will get an instant rebate. Read the fine print .
