“Most of Apple’s Mac lineup is overdue for a refresh, but if you’re shopping for college, you might consider a MacBook or iPad Pro,” Susie Ochs writes for Macworld. “Both have key features that make them especially handy for college students. And both are eligible for Apple’s back-to-school promotion.”

Buy an eligible iPhone (6, 6 Plus, 6s, or 6s Plus) or an iPad Pro, and you’ll get a $199.95 credit for a pair of Powerbeats2 Wireless Headphones — and you can pay $100 more to get the Beats Solo2 instead,” Ochs writes. “This promotion expires September 5, and conditions apply, so be sure to read all the fine print.”
