When buying at the Apple Store ?
So when applying at checkout..
Do they need to do a credit check?
I am going to college in September and I might do the computer graphics/media type of career.
But I wouldn't have enough to get the 15 inch. So with PayPal I know it's a payment plan but I don't know how simple it is to get it.
And the interest rates are okay as long as I could get the Mac by late August.
 
If you don't already have a PayPal buyer credit account, then yes, a credit check will be needed just like any other line of credit.

Before you do that though, check with your school. They may have a campus computer store with student-focused financing options, or there might be a credit union associated with your university that can offer you a loan to purchase what you need at a lower interest rate.
