Being a student, teacher or faculty member, means sometimes you can score a great deal on computer hardware or software where us retail shoppers often have to pay full price. If you are in the above mentioned group and have been looking to get your hands on a brand new MacBook, then Apple has a sweet deal for you.

According to Engadget, prices for the polycarbonate unibody MacBook have taken a dive from their regular price of $999 to now only $728, including shipping.
