Unless you purchased it with AppleCare, I think it's Microcenter. Ask Apple, what would happen if you were to buy an AppleCare policy for it... I'm just curious.
If it is a warranty item, you would have no problem taking it to an Apple Store. If you were looking to return it for a refund or discovered something seriously wrong while un-boxing, then you would take it back to MC.
Just a heads up. Apple price matched with MC after I purchased my MB. If you take the ad into the Apple Store when you are ready to purchase, they may match it. If not, drive over to MC.

The King of Prussia (Philadelphia) Apple Store matched the MicroCenter price for me yesterday. Of course the MicroCenter store is about 5 miles from the Apple Store.
I just spoke with a manager, and she said she would rather have me buy there then somewhere else, and would match the price, I must not have been the first one to ask, as she did not even look up the website.
I think price matching depends on distance from the MicroCenter store. I do believe that if you call the 800 My-Apple number they will match it over the phone.

That would be because this was the same store that I received my price match after the purchase last month

I live no where near a MicroCenter, and I order my Unibody form Apple.com. I called Apple Support, said I saw a lower price at Micro Center, I wanted to return my laptop, so I can get it cheaper. Within maybe a minute, they reimbursed me the $200, so I got it for $799. That was sweet!
