(Editor’s note: Correction made 11 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 8, to reflect that the store’s e-mail was sent to “graduating seniors” instead of “graduate students”.)
The Union Computer Store e-mailed faculty/staff and graduating seniors the evening of Friday, Dec. 3, to offer a $30 savings on Apple iPad purchases (regularly $499-$829). Other perks include 10 percent off any iPad accessories purchased at the same time and double reward points on your Varney’s Rewards Card. The special offer started Monday, Dec. 6, and ends Saturday, Dec. 18. Buyers must show a current educational ID at the time of purchase.
The $30 savings applies to all six versions of the iPad (16GB, 32GB, and 64GB Wi-Fi-only models and 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB Wi-Fi + 3G network access). The sale is on a “while supplies last” basis, said Chris Loehr, computer store manager.
Customers who’ve already decided to purchase an iPad may find the hardest part is deciding what iPad accessories to buy. Options include:
- Carry/display case ($25-$40)
- Stylus for writing/drawing ($10-$25)
- Extra charger ($29)
- Docking station for desktop use ($29)
- Docking station with full-size keyboard ($69)
- and more
