Does Apple now verify education purchases?

Last time I bought an iMac, langsung takda verification. Just order online as usual and couple days later arrived.

So who's looking to get one?

Was looking to get a Dell XPS 13 but this MBA is looking good as well. The stellar battery life is really enticing me. Despite the slightly larger footprint and b e z e l s on the MBA compared to the XPS 13, I'm willing to deal with it as a tradeoff for the battery life and hopefully the performance matches up. Hopefully the performance isn't too bad with thermal throttling. Will wait for reviews.
