Apple is well-known for its educational discounts--you get one discount for being a student, then another larger one by being allied with certain universities. I saved over $300 on my PowerBook (which would have been over $1,900) by being a student. I was able to use that savings to upgrade everything (yay DVD burner!) and get a new printer. It was less expensive (and lighter!) than a PC with the same features.
The cool thing about wireless internet on an Apple is that the settings can be detected automatically, without having to log into a system.
