    Just wondering how high the AW university discount is, as well as if it applies to Canadian Universitys/Colleges.

    It is 5% in the US off the m15x as long as you verify that you have a .edu email account.

    I don't know about Canada, I'd try it if I were you. Does Canada have .edu at the end of their email if you go to college? example [email protected]

    No, .edu is for the US only. You would have to email AW and tell them you're a student at a Canadian university and give them your email (now, I don't know if they will accept that, but that's the only way you'll be able to try)

    It does apply to the m15x though. I priced out my laptop with the discount and it did apply and work. (pretty easy to set up the account too, took me about 2 minutes to get the discount.)

    My guess is that the software will drop the email as it isn't .edu

    If you want to take advantage of this you should email AW I think
