[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 958362, member: 59143"] Well ok. So if you know how Mac's come configured and don't need to rely on a sales person to give you a rundown of anything, and you're able to save a couple hundred dollars from purchasing at Best Buy, I say go for it ! And yes, also make sure there aren't any new models coming out within 30 days of your purchase. That said, you can purchase the Apple Care online and get it even cheaper at certain places. An ex co-worker of mine (and long time Apple user) turned me on to [url=http://www.lacomputercompany.com/]LA Computer Company[/url] They specialize in Apple products, including Apple Care for a discounted price. They even offer lo-jack insurance in case your Mac is stolen. [url=http://www.lacomputercompany.com/applecare.html]LA Computer Company Inc: Applecare[/url] With Apple you can always get a student discount if you purchase online, and might save on tax and don't pay shipping so these are also things to consider. Personally speaking, if BB offered a $200 discount off the bat, I'd buy it online and go for it if the shipping were free with no tax. Doug [/QUOTE]
