Apple has finally launched their Back to School promotion offering a $100 gift card for the Mac App Store, App Store, iTunes Store, or iBookstore to students who buy a Mac.

When you buy a new qualifying Mac with Apple education pricing* from June 16, 2011, through September 20, 2011, you’ll get a $100 Back to School Card to use on the Mac App Store, the App Store, the iTunes Store, and the iBookstore.

The promotion is a disappointment to many students who've been holding back on their Mac purchase in hopes that Apple would have offered a free iPod touch as they did in previous years.

Im not getting an Apple this year then. They are too expensive and I was only holding out for the free iPod touch. Has anybody seen the cool Sony laptops? There are some really nice ones out there.

Apple's getting a little bit too greedy, especially when they're doing so well. If something isn't broke, don't fix it, you're going to piss off a lot of people by changing your famous Back to School Promotion Apple.

Listen to you guys....really??you are still getting something. How can you demand your preference when it's free for your purchase. Be happy that you are getting a thank you for your purchase in some monetary form versus nothing at all....

The reason we care about this "promotion" is because the previous Back to School Promo included a free iPod touch with the purchase of a Macbook AS WELL as a $100 discount towards the Macbook purchase itself. Yep, you buy a Macbook, get $100 dollars off for being a student, and get a free iPod touch. Now all you get is a Macbook with a $100 gift card. You tell me why we're complaining.
