Time for Amazon to catch up on an Apple refresh?

[tikitommy]

Hey all,

Not including items Amazon doesn't stock itself (iPad), how long from when Apple introduces a refreshed item does Amazon have it in stock, i.e. new iMac.

I'm waiting on the iMac refresh but waiting on buying it from Amazon to avoid the tax hit.

Thanks!

I've usually seen them pop in about 2 weeks after release. About the same time that other 3rd party retailers like Microcenter and Best Buy get them. A couple of other sites that you should consider though are Macmall and BHPhotoVideo. Both are excellent retailers. BHPhotoVideo in particular will give you 50% off AppleCare with a computer purchase, and a free software product (like Parallels or Bento)
