First post here

..... under my new nickname anyway

Does anybody know how much the iMac lower end model (normal price - £1149) would be after Higher Education discount?

It's about 14%.

Can you only get the He discount over the phone? Or can you also do it online (through your university network?)

You can do it on the phone and through the net on your uni network.

All Macs are around the normal price minus VAT.

Nah, I mean around that price, give or take a few percent. You will still pay VAT etc.

I've just had a look and for me the price of the £1149 iMac (that's the cheapest of the 24 inch ones in the base configuation) is £999.93. No guarantees it's the same for everyone but it probably is.

You can go into the store and get the full discount as well, i did it the other day with my girl friends student ID, got 15% off a MBP

Buy Apple care, you get it for 58.75 as a HE uni student, and if you don't buy it then it will cost a lot more in future and if you don't buy it you can end up regretting if some thing was to go wrong like the HDD fails or the monitor has some kind of glitch.

^ You get a 3 year warranty as standard, AppleCare just extends phone support from 90 days to 3 years.

As people have said it's really not necessary if you buy from the HE store - you get a 3 year warranty as standard. The entrance page to the store tells you about it. Upgrading to Applecare (for £58.75) basically gives you the phone support and nothing else extra.

in store is what I meant

So the middle 15" macbook Pro will be around 1390.00 then? With HE... I’ll be getting one for Christmas really can't wait, so won't to try OSX after using windows for so long...
