Apple’s Back to School offers on MacBook, iPad feature Indian medical student’s experiences

Apple Back to School

Every year ahead of students joining college, Apple has a Back to School offer. The offer includes AirPods with Mac and Apple Pencil with iPad, including the MacBook Air and the new iPad Air.

Furthermore, to add to their savings, college and graduate students, their parents, and all teachers are eligible to receive discounted education pricing year-round and 20 percent off AppleCare+ during this limited-time offer.

This year Apple is highlighting how the MacBook and iPad helps at college by sharing experiences of three students. One of them is Anuj Pachhel, who recently graduated medical school at the Government Medical College, Nagpur. Pachhel uses a MacBook Pro. “One aspect I loved was the battery life on the device,” says Pachhel, who will continue his postgraduate studies this fall. “I had e-books for studies loaded on my Mac and used it extensively, and I was in awe of the speed.”

Throughout his undergraduate years, Pachhel documented his academic adventures with iPhone and Mac, earning more than a million followers as he discussed what it was like studying for exams, attending college during the COVID-19 lockdowns, and what he did with his scarce free time along the way.

“The Mac is so powerful at handling challenging tasks,” Pachhel explains. “I particularly love DaVinci Resolve Studio, as it uses many artificial intelligence features that tap the fast Neural Engine of my MacBook Pro, improving my editing speed.”

In a post on its newsroom Apple noted that research shows that students’ course of study plays a major role in choosing their primary device. In fact, 65 percent said this was an important factor, according to data from Futuresource Consulting.
