Hi,
I'm just looking at purchasing the Pro Apps bundle on Apple Education and can see it's £180 if pre-installed when purchasing a MacBook but £199.99 to purchase separately. Is this the same software bundle? Just wanted to check as it's a different price.
Also, if I were to purchase the pre-installed bundle alongside a MacBook, how would these be linked to my Apple ID for use across other Macs?
Thanks in advance!
It's the same bundle. It's linked with the Apple ID used to purchase the hardware and software.
I honestly wouldn't get a MacBook for use with the pro apps. The system requirements are such that, except for the simplest projects, I would not get less than a 15" MacBook Pro. The minimum system requirements listed for the software are just that, what's needed for minimum requirement projects.

Great, thank you. I was looking at the 15 inch Pro models but there doesn't appear to be an option on Apple Education to just buy Final Cut Pro, which is the only one I'll really be using. The bundle works out cheaper than the normal price of Final Cut anyway so I figured I'd go for it.
As far as price goes, does the £20 saving by having it pre-installed mean anything? Is this a discount for buying a MacBook alongside it?
Yes. After getting the MacBook, open the Mac App Store, click on your profile photo, find the list of purchases, and accept the preloaded applications into your Apple ID.

The discount is for buying it preinstalled. You just have to make sure to initialize the applications in the App Store as Niel described.
Cool, thank you Tom.
