Purchase of an i-mac for education purposes

[eljuwa]

Hello Forum Members

I live in Chiang Mai. An American on a retirement visa. Since 2010

I have the early 2008 version of a 20 inch i-mac. I am encountering a lot of problem with this old computer with many apps. I can not even load the Sierra OSX on this computer of mine. I wish to buy a new i-mac.

What I wish to have is a 27 inch retina display i-mac. From that basic information, I am confused as to what I should really buy. I use my i-mac for e-mails, skype and other basic requirements. I am not into anything  professional. 

Also, I know that I could buy an Apple i-mac under a student price. Where I believe the product is shipped from Hong Kong and that this price will be close to what I would pay in the USA.

Kindly advise me: (1) As to which 27 inch model should I buy, and (2) How can I get the student price.

You have always assisted me greatly and I hope that you will do so now.

Thank you

James

The apple link above shows a price of 63k thb fir what appears to be the same model. Could be that student discount price your after. No idea what you need to prove your status though.

 

Maybe best to move to it and computers
