[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1158231, member: 24098"] From what I've read here, the One on One training is pretty hit or miss. Some people seem to like it, but it is more project focused from what I understand. If you're already pretty computer savvy, there's a lot of [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0596153287/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]good books[/URL] and info online, most namely this site: [url=http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/]Apple - Support - Switch 101[/url] But I think one of the most valuable things the Apple Store can offer switchers is to transfer all of your docs, data and libraries over to your Mac from your PC for free. That can be tricky to do yourself because you'll either need to network your Mac and your PC together to do the transfer, or offload the data onto an external hard drive and bring it over a piece at a time. So, depending on how much time and effort you want to expend with a new machine, that service might be worth the difference in price. Besides that, the buying experience at an Apple Store is really second to none, particularly if you set up a "Personal Shopper Appointment" online ahead of time. The memory difference wouldn't really be a biggy for me. Memory is pretty inexpensive (particularly when you buy aftermarket) and it's a simple enough DIY upgrade, should you need it. Hope this helps and Merry Christmas. [/QUOTE]
