I've been thinking of getting a Macbook and a coworker told me there were payment plans and student discounts available, but I can't find anything that explains it on the website. Could someone explain?
Student discount you usually get through your school. They either give you a special link to purchase or you buy it through the school's store.
As for payment plans, its usually done through a line of credit from one of Apples partners like Barclaycard or Citizens one bank. It's basically a credit card that gives you special financing on applicable apple products. most of the deals are like no interest for X amount of months depending on how much you spend.
The following may also help:
how do the payment plans/student discounts work?
