Physical stores need education stores to get discounts. For example, Apple stores in Hong Kong University, City University, Polytechnic University and other schools can be purchased directly with student ID cards. Generally, you can pick up the goods immediately without ordering online, but it does not rule out the shortage.

You can only buy one macbook in the education store in one academic year (September this year to August next year). You bought it at the wrong time. The most affordable time should be July-September. I bought a macbookpro at a discount that year, and I also got an itouch. Sometimes I give something to a printer, not necessarily.
