Is there any advantage to buying online versus buying at the Apple store? And can you get a student discount in-store or is that only an online thing?

I’m sold on the MacBook Pro, hoping to get it before spring break hehe. I was going to get a Mac Mini and wait until the end of summer for the MacBook, but I figure why wait 😛 It shouldn’t be too obsolete by the time I’m going to college anyway (which was when I was thinking I’d get one).

Edit: Whoops! I meant to post this in Computers and Games, can a mod please move it?
