For example, iWorld offers twice the memory for 1 CZK (more for 1099 or 2199) for Mini, MBP and iMac, which is sometimes more advantageous than these student discounts.
This is an interesting offer rather for ordinary customers. Not every student needs double the RAM and, moreover, not all models have to pay for it. Even with a basic 13″ MacBook Pro, it’s not as interesting as the student discount and doubling the RAM individually.
well, because here in Slovakia, the discounts are so big that when I deduct it from the full price, I want to laugh out of sadness :D
