Apple products are made/assembled in China.
Apple itself is an American corporation but nowadays products are made in the land of dragon.

Apple INC is based in 1 infinite Loop California, thats the HQ anyway, and they are an american computer company, like any other american computer company their products are made in asia specifically in china, nothing new here its been like that for years, if you insist on american made products or computers please make sure your bank account is strong enough to handle the price difference. Oh and the closest Apple Store are in China or Australia,they dont have it here because our buying power aint that high, we rather go for el-cheapo Dells.

Really?  . I wanted to order it online but been having problems with my father. He said buying online somehow make's the item pirated? I totally loled at him. How could it be fake when it's from Apple itself lol. Will discuss this with him tonight.
How much discount can I really get? Might just buy the 15-inch if it's a lot

wah kids these days, father buy you computer also can be so ungrateful 16 years only summore, i remember when my dad got me a macbook way back, i paid him back by working part time, be a little bit more courteous to your father, oh and if you read the EDU discount terms and condition it states college and UNI,be prepared when they ask you for student ID or a letter from uni.
