Hey everyone,
I have a question, I bought a MacBook on Friday Oct 24th and I'm having buyers remorse and i want to return it to get the 20" iMac. Can I still do this? Oh and I know bout the 10% restocking fee.

If you want, go for it. You can return within 14 days. Personally I always get a little buyers remorse with everything expensive I buy and its usually temporary, so if you're like me you might want to reconsider before you lose $130-$160 to a restocking fee.

Can I ask what you don't like about it? You will have to pay the restocking fee because the Imac isn't a higher value.

For what I payed for I can get all of this with a 20" screen and I don't really need the portablity aspect of the laptop. So if i went this Friday to return it will I get charged 10% for the restocking if I went to get the iMac instead?

We can't say for sure though.

Looking at your situation, I think they will waive the 10% restocking fee. Apple is still making some heavy cash!

After work today I'll give the store I bought it from a call and talk to the manager and see if theres anything possible that I can do. I'm still buying a Mac.

Its a great laptop, but I use a 24" iMac at work and I just love it. As well the quality of the MacBook just seems poor (slanted keyboard, scratched top before I got to use it...) seems like their QC has gone down hill....

before you take it back I would reconsider. I bought my first mac (alum. macbook) and use it with my 22" external monitor and keyboard. I love it. I used to hate laptops, but with my set up, I can be portable when I need to be. There will be great deals on monitors on black friday. Last year I got a 22" westinghouse with DVI, VGA, and component video for only $150 from Best Buy.

I agree with poblack.

Instead of paying the penalty in restocking fees, put it into an external monitor with keyboard + mouse. You'll now have your desktop system at home and/or simply unplug the external equipment to be on the go.

You'd be able to get the restoking fees pushed to the side easy.

I am going to echo the same thing. but get a 24inch monitor instead :D
