Students: Buy a MacBook, Get a Free iPod Touch

Apple’s offering students a free iPod Touch with the purchase of a MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. The 8GB iPod Touch retails for $229, but is free after rebate as long as it’s purchased directly from Apple or your school’s computer store. Apple’s set up web page detailing the offer.

Apple’s run similar promotions during the past two back-to-school seasons, but usually kicked things off mid-summer. Many schools are still in session, making this back-to-school promo a little early. Apple may be using this as an opportunity to clear out inventory ahead of new product announcements.

The free iPod Touch offer is valid through September 8, 2009. Rebate forms must be sent in by October 9.
