I bought a new Macbook Saturday.

There is Fry's electronics. Now that I have looked around it appears a lot of retailers have changed this policy. Basically I purchase Macs, Monitors, Home Theater equipment and Car Audio through Fry's since they are so cheap with massive selection. All other peripherals, upgrades, custom built PC's and cables I buy online.

Last I remember in the late 90's Circuit City, Best Buy, Good Guys and basically all retailers had a 30 day return I did not think they had changed this, especially with the competition with online retailers and discount stores like Fry's and Costco.

They changed the policy mostly I think because people had buyers remorse or just used the computer for a bit and then would return it when it was no longer needed. I believe the policy was mostly changed for all technology items because of CAMCORDERS. Consumers would buy one to tape an event and then return them(and most likely a lot of no/low budget filmmakers).

Thanks for the laugh. Fry's is one of the restrictive ones on technology related items and have many consumer complaints. I wouldn't buy any computer there. You have 30 days on other stuff and some unopened tech items.

Frys:

is a .2ghz speed bump worth a return and possible fee? I don't think so personally as I dont want to go through the hassle of taking out the ram repacking going to an apple store etc.

It's worth the $120 restocking fee for me since I didn't need the 160GB hard drive or the 2GB RAM.

I made up my entire restocking fee by selling both the 160GB hard drive and 2GB RAM on craigslist for $120. (I had previously brought the 4GB RAM and 320GB WD Passport HD)

The OP used the word BROUGHT in this thread before he edited it after reading my post.

I second that with a severe "Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot", over!

You're ugly.
