Apple’s been an evangelist for education in the past, offering students and schools incentives and promotional deals over the years, and 2013 will be no different. Apple launched its new Back to School promotion, targeting students that are interested in both Mac and mobile-based devices.

Starting today, anyone who purchases a Mac will receive a free $100 App Store gift card. This promotion extends to mobile devices too, with the company offering $50 gift cards to anyone who purchases an iPhone or iPad.

This deal is only available at Apple locations, meaning you’ll have to grab your product from a brick and mortar Apple store or an Authorized Apple Campus store. You can also grab the deal direct from Apple’s website, but don’t expect to see it at third party locations like Best Buy or Staples. S

This offer is only available for college students, student’s who’ve been accepted to college, parents of university students, or a faculty or staff member from any grade level. 

But you’d better hurry if you plan on getting this deal, as the promotion only runs from July 2 to September 6, 2013.

Your Windows 11 PC can now natively run AI workloads, even if it lacks the Copilot+ badge

For the better part of a year, Microsoft has been telling us that the future of AI on Windows belongs to Copilot+ PCs. If you wanted Microsoft’s most advanced local AI features, you needed a machine with a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU). That was the deal. Now, Microsoft appears to be rewriting the rules.

According to updated documentation, Windows 11’s local Language Model APIs can now run on non-Copilot+ PCs, provided they have an Nvidia GeForce RTX 30-series GPU (or newer) with at least 6GB of VRAM. On the surface, this sounds like a developer-focused update. In reality, it could be one of the most significant shifts in Microsoft’s AI PC strategy since Copilot+ PCs launched last year. More importantly, it raises a question that has been lingering ever since the AI PC era began: Did we really need NPUs for all of this in the first place?
