Every now and again, I have that dream where I haven’t prepared for an exam and panic sets in.

I like to think it means I am eternally grateful that I will never have to be a student again, although the gig isn’t all that bad.

You get months and months of holidays each year, hangovers are far milder, and you’re also eligible for some cracking discounts through Digicape, South Africa’s largest independent Apple retailer.

The same discount is also available to teachers and lecturers and faculty staff, because they deserve nice things, too.

You can now save up to R3 000 on Mac products and score a free warranty extension as part of the deal.

Here are the details for the Back to School special.

How to Apply:

• Order your device and our team will contact you to complete the required education documentation.

Required Documents:

• Students – Copy of student card, proof of registration or letter from institution confirming validity and student status for 2022.
• Teachers, lecturers, faculty staff members or permanent employees at Universities and Colleges – Letter of employment dated 2022, and proof of employment has to be stamped by the educational institution on an official letterhead.

Only one Mac can be claimed per person, and the deal runs until March 31 (or until stocks run out).

That means you have two weeks from today to sort yourself out.

Once those boxes are ticked, you’re good to start shopping here.

Nothing like a new MacBook to take the edge off having to start lectures again, whichever side of the lectern you’re sitting on.

For those of us who aren’t students, or involved in the education system, there is always the option to trade in your old Apple products (iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches or Apple TVs) for discounts on new products.
