Im going to be buying my first mac this week (or next depending on how expensive my bills are) I do however have some questions about the apple store.

Is it relatively easy to buy a macbook with cash? I dont have a credit card (nor is it probably a good idea for me to have one lol) and i think i can only buy so much $$ worth of stuff with my debit card a day. Anyone tried to buy one with cash?

If not cash do they take personal checks?


Another thing off topic but about this website. thanks alot for all your help. mac-rumors has been such an awesome site filled with alot of helpful people. I just wanted to let you guys know its much appreciated!
 
An apple retail store gladly accepts cash. I believe they also accept checks but they'll run it through whatever systems they need to in order to verify the funds are there. I would pay cash if anything or have your bank increase your daily spending limit for that day if need be.
 
well i just wasnt sure because 1500 is alot in cash. i dno how they handle cash there. thanks alot for the speeedy reply!
 
they should still let you pay with cash, my friend and i payed for a new macbook with cash on black friday and they accepted the money, so you shouldn't have a problem

Edit: (up) he beat me by seconds ;P
