Apple/Music Software vendors in California - anyone got any tips?

Hey guys,

My boss is visiting the US at the moment and has asked me if I can source him a Power Macbook or whatever they're calling them these days, at a good price and hopefully with a copy of Logic and Reason bundled with it. However, whenever I try and search, I only get european prices (google localisation does my head in! ) - and I was wondering if there's a particular reseller that does particularly good deals in the LA/SF/Santa Barbara regions that you seasoned Mac-heads could reccomend me...

Many thanks!

I'm guessing you need a physical location right? If you can order off of a US website, then I suggest MacConnection. They have good prices and although I have yet to buy from them, a college professor of mine swore by the site (he purchased 3+ Macs from them, and never had a problem). If you do need a brick and mortar store, I think you're stuck with an Apple Store. No one has lower prices, they are all the same; Apple ensures that.

OK guys, appreciate the help, thanks!
