    Does Powerpc offer a student discount?

    I noticed XoticPC offers a 50% off shipping prices for student/military discount, but the regular 5% off total purchase would be much nicer...

    Thanks in advance.

    Keep in mind that the final price + service are the only thing that matters. 50% student discount doesnt mean much if the original system cost twice as much etc...

    You obviously didn't read anything I posted but the 50%.

    It was 50% off SHIPPING - that has nothing to do with the system cost.

    Maybe I shouldn't be too sensitive about this, but our name is not PowerPC as the thread subject suggests.

    We are PowerNotebooks.com.

    To qualify for a $20 discount on PowerPro models and the Sager 5796, 8660 and 9262 please email or fax (775-783-1777) your Student Body card or acceptance letter, and put "Smart Pill" in the Special Instructions/Promotion Codes box in the Shopping Cart.

    And just to clarify, Xoticpc gives 50% off of Ground shipping only, not expedited shipping, so our discounts are virtually the same.
