[QUOTE="fiveightandten, post: 377491, member: 24555"] You can check out websites like [url]www.macconnection.com[/url] or [url]www.macmall.com[/url] , which offer rebates and thus save you a little bit of money off going straight from Apple. You also won't pay tax on a lot of online purchases (which, technically, you're supposed to, but we wno't get into that)...so you'll save anywhere from $50-200, depending on the model and the price/rebate. Some people do feel more comfortable buying a machine from the Apple store directly, and being able to walk out with the computer. You can also popthe box open in the store and check it out, and from my experience the sales people at the Apple store are very helpful and would be more than happy to sit down and go over a few things with youif you wanted. In fact, I was at the Apple store last night talking to them about these machines and not only did I notice a few people sitting at a large counter in the back with Apple employees going over their new computers...the guy I was talking to gave me a card and said any of them would be happy to grab both a MB and a MBP and bring them to the back and spend up to an hour explaining the differences and helping me through any decisions. Sometimes that type of service is worth the extra money to people. Then there's always eBay. You can get some nice deals up there, but like anything else on eBay...know who you're buying from and check out their feedback very well with a big purchase like this. Personally, i'd email the seller and ask for a phone number that they (or their employees if it's a company) can be reached at to ask questions. -Nick [/QUOTE]
