[QUOTE="Archangele, post: 1045599, member: 152739"] Hi, You can test drive Macs at the Apple stores and Best Buy. But, I would either buy from Apple via their 800 number or an Apple store. Apple does have discounts for both education and if you work for certain corporations. I got $100 off my Imac because of where my wife worked. I ordered a 27" Imac. The one that normally costs $1699. I tried it first at Best Buy and was amazed at what it could do. The screen is big and very clear and sharp. When I added up what it would cost to duplicate the performance in a Windoozzze machine, I came out about the same as the Imac. The Apple website has a number you can call where you can actually talk to a real sales person right here in the USA. You might want to just give them a call and tell them what you will use the computers for and they can offer you some suggestions. Oh, the people at Best Buy told me that their Imacs don't come with restore discs. Don't know if they were leading me on or if that was true. When I ordered direct form Apple I asked about this and the Apple rep told me that they ship their computers with all the discs necessary to restore the system if you totally screw it up. Anyway, I felt more comfortable ordering direct form Apple. [/QUOTE]
