MacMall vs. Apple Store: Returns

[Cursor]

Hello all,

I'm interested in buying the new Macbook Pro Retina. Currently MacMall would have the best deal, since I'd avoid the 6% sales tax (which would be significant) from my local Apple Store.

My question is, if the screen has the yellow tint that happens with Apple laptops every once in a while, or if anything is wrong with it, would I be able to exchange it at my local Apple store, or would I have to ship it back to MacMall? I plan to buy Apple Care with it.

Has anybody dealt with a problem like this before?

Thanks for any help.

The Apple Warranty and AppleCare are honored, regardless of where you buy your Mac.

That's great to hear. This'll be my first laptop, Apple Care purchase and new Mac in 4-5 years.

Thanks for the help!

There has never been a retina display Mac before. There is no basis for the "yellow tint" fear.

Not necessarily true. Re read apple care terms

I have read the terms many times. And yes, it is true.

I have read the terms many times. And yes, it is true.

6.2 Apple reserves the right to change the method by which Apple may provide repair or replacement service to you, and your Covered Equipment’s eligibility to receive a particular method of service. Service will be limited to the options available in the country where service is requested. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. You may be responsible for shipping and handling charges if the Covered Equipment cannot be serviced in the country it is in. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you will comply with all
applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other associated taxes and charges. For international service, Apple may repair or exchange defective products and parts with comparable products and parts that comply with local standards.

6.2 Apple reserves the right to change the method ...

As I said, I've read that many times. Nowhere does it indicate or suggest that the warranty or AppleCare would not be honored; only that the method of providing service may vary. My statement is 100% factual:

The Apple Warranty and AppleCare are honored, regardless of where you buy your Mac.
