You can return it within either 10 or 14 days (something like that) and pay a 10% restocking fee. There is no free update unless you order one which hasn't yet been assembled/shipped.endoscient said:

And if they lower the price (only from Apple online) within 10 days, they will refund you the difference.
As there have been so many other posts on this type of thread, it is impossible to time your purchase if you are looking for the most updated version of the computer. I used to be in the same thinking I want to get the most updated/advanced unit; but, I gave up on that because, if I do so, I cannot buy any computer equipment because we all know new and improved versions will be produced down the road. I think the current PB lines are well endowed at the current level (both of my Al PBs have enough punch to handle what I would like to do, including using CS2 standard suites. My old Ti PB (but it looks brand new as there is not a single scratch) 550Mhz is running good with Tiger.

hm...so if I buy a PB at an apple store I can't get the difference if they lower the price? that's disappointing...I was hoping to get it faster that way, but if that's the case...

I'm almost positive you can still do a price match within 14 days. Thats what the manager told me at the Oakbrook IL store.

I think the point being made was that you will get an *automatic* discount if you puchase online and a price drop occurs within the time frame. If you purchase from a local Apple store, you probably have to take your receipt back.
