We had been able to buy peripheral product but not computers. Apple has an agreement with the companies which sell their products that K-12 inst have to order directly from Apple (maybe a sales rep thing and Joe Lee might be able to add to it). But peripheral products have never been against the rules to order before. Maybe it is their way to control the market. If it is one of the new Macbook't with the built in battery an authorized repair center is the only one Apple trusts with the repair?
