How to qualify for Apple’s education discount – and get a 9 MacBook Neo for school

How to qualify for Apple’s education discount – and get a $499 MacBook Neo for school

Published by skeptic

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Just a month ago, Apple unveiled the MacBook Neo, a competitively priced MacBook, at a private NYC event. ZDNET got a first look then, and we’ve since reviewed Apple’s first budget laptop that’s punching the market with color and no-fuss features.  While the Neo is the most affordable MacBook ever, regularly priced at $599, students should be aware that Apple offers educational discounts that take $100 off the regular price, making the laptop even more enticing. You just need to know how to obtain the offer. Also: MacBook Neo review: My biggest concern with Apple’s near-perfect budget laptop And with estimated ship timelines stretching further out, if you’re planning to purchase the Neo with an educational discount, I wouldn’t wait too long. Redditors first started reporting abnormally long shipping delays over a month ago, and several current reports are estimating 2-3 week backlogs.  While there’s still some time before the new school year begins, those purchasing for colleges, which usually start earlier than K-12 schools, may want …

Two More Democrats Qualify for California Debate Stage After Swalwell Exits

Two More Democrats Qualify for California Debate Stage After Swalwell Exits

Published by Sam Flores

April 16 (Reuters) – Two more Democrats, former California attorney ⁠general ⁠and cabinet secretary Xavier Becerra and ⁠San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, cleared the polling threshold and will join next ​week’s debate in the state’s gubernatorial primary campaign after Eric Swalwell, accused of sexual assault, dropped out of the race, ‌organizers said on Thursday. Nexstar Media Group, ‌which will broadcast the debate on news channels in six of the state’s largest markets, said recent polling ⁠put Becerra, who ⁠was secretary of health and human services under President Joe Biden, at 10%, ​well over the 5% threshold. Mahan, the mayor of California’s third-largest city by population, came in right at 5%. Nexstar commissioned a new poll from Emerson College Polling to re-evaluate the field after Swalwell, 45, left the race on Sunday and resigned from ​the U.S. Congress after multiple women accused him of sexual assault and other forms of impropriety. Swalwell has ⁠denied ⁠the allegations but suspended his ⁠campaign, creating an ​opening after polling had qualified him for Wednesday’s debate. Becerra and Mahan will join …

Gennaro Gattuso Is Out as Italy’s Coach After Team Failed to Qualify for World Cup

Gennaro Gattuso Is Out as Italy’s Coach After Team Failed to Qualify for World Cup

Published by Sam Flores

MILAN (AP) — Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso left his role by mutual consent on Friday, three days after the national team failed to qualify for a third consecutive World Cup. The Italian soccer federation announced the news in a statement thanking Gattuso “for the dedication and passion” during his nine months in charge. Italy’s chances of reaching this year’s tournament in North America ended on Tuesday after a penalty shootout loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina in a qualifying playoff. “With pain in my heart, not having achieved the goal we had set ourselves, I consider my experience on the national team bench to be over,” Gattuso said. The defeat to Bosnia added more misery for four-time champion Italy after being eliminated by Sweden and North Macedonia, respectively, in the qualifying playoffs for the last two World Cups. Gattuso took over from the fired Luciano Spalletti in June with the squad already in crisis mode following a defeat at Norway in its opening qualifier. Spalletti had also overseen a disappointing European Championship campaign in 2024, when …
