Smalldog

[virividox]

has anyone bought anything from smalldog?

can you recommend them?

They have nice package deals each day that might save you $50 or so. But you have to be in the market for that combo deal, when they offer it,

They used to have lots of good refurb stuff, but it's slim picking these days. Nice company, but they are no better or worse than buying from apple.com on any given day. (unless you happen to find that particularly special daily deal)

thanks, i guess its more about luck and timing, are there any other vendors like smalldog on the net?

Smalldog is fine. I bought a demo G4 Dual in Sept. '02 from them and it was a lemon -- ran OS X 10.1x lousy. Something wrong with video card or something. I returned it and they replaced it with the new Dual G4 1Ghz. A demo model, too, but they gave me extra RAM for my troubles. Had to pay shipping. I still use the machine today. No problems.

I'd have to second PowerMax, however unlike most users, I walked in and bought what I needed.

Also there's The Mac Store (http://www.thecomputerstore.com)

J&R Computer World

Also CompUSA usually has late model Macs for sale.
