Another higher education question!

Sorry for another question on this, but im going to the Apple store today to get myself a macbook. I heard somewhere on here that if you buy with the HE discount you also get a three year warranty as standard. But on speaking to a guy from Apple the other day he said all you can get is applecare for 58pound for three years which im sure someone on here mentioned as being useless telephone support which i wont need?! Can anyone clarify?

Indeed, i couldnt find anything about it either, the only place i had heard it from was here but i dont know if it is true anymore and dont want to have some argument with the guys in the store if im in the wrong!

Ok excellent, so i probably should just ignore the guys in the shop as i should get a three year warranty anyway? Works for me!

When I ordered my iMac on the phone the guy at the other end did say that it does not come with a 3 year warranty unless you buy applecare. I'm not so sure they do this offer anymore.

They definately don't, you have to buy the Applecare for £58 (with the HE discount). I bought this baseline MB to mess about with so don't really need the three year warranty, am sure i will become obsessed with an updated MBP soon enough
