OK so I think I'm taking the plunge today.
My initial plan was to get a PB but I think an iMac is a better fit (mainly cuz of the G5) since its semi-portable as well.
My big question is, if I get it at comp usa, can I also buy applecare at compusa or is that an online thing only. I was at compusa looking at them the other day and asked the dude about applecare, he was like 'what', 'we can sell you a compusa warranty' & I was like NO.
Anyway, I'm looking at the 17" base model, I don't need a superdrive cuz I have an external dvd burner. I will buy a gig of ram myself & stick it in, should be painfree right?
I have read a lot of bad things about the iMac's failing & stuff so I'm a little afraid.
At least with a windows based system if something fails I can just replace it, but things are different with a mac, its not like I can just go out and buy a new mobo.
Thanks,
MIke
