I will be purchasing a stock 1.83 Macbook this week, possibly today. (may change depending on WWDC) My final decision is where to buy it. I've looked around and come up with my top 3 but I'm unsure of witch one to go with in regards to returns. If I have any problems with it I want a place that will be easy to deal with if I have to send/take it back for another one. Here's my list.
Apple Store-several in my area/most likely in stock/easiest to get to if I need to return it.
Compusa-5% off all Apple sytems this week in my area.
Amazon.com-$100 rebate
Is the discounts worth the extra hassle of not buying directly from Apple? I would like to hear from people who have bought from them. I have bought from the online Apple store several times and had shipping problems each time, so I don't want to go thru the online store again. I don't think I'm elagable for the edu discount.(only took 1 course at my local uni. for my job) So any advice/experience would help. Thanks.
