What happens when new iMacs are introduced?

[matbook101]

Not me it didn't. I was on the final payment screen and the total showed 0 tax. I suppose it depends where you are buying from. If you happen to be in a state where they have stores then they probably will charge you tax.

Also since I'm in New Jersey I think B&H would charge me tax but I will check.

B&H only charges in New York.

I would also look at B&H photo. Great service and shipping. They off Apple Care half price $61 and free software. #

How do you get apple care for 1/2 off? Is it a promo or only when you buy a new computer with B&H?

You have to buy the computer from B&H. However it's fairly easy to find AppleCare for discounted prices. The best I've seen iMac AppleCare is from Amazon for about $123, another vender that discounts it is LA Computer Company. Currently Amazon doesn't charge tax in CA (this will change 9/2012) and LA Computer Company has to charge tax in CA but I have no idea what their arrangement is with other states.

I checked B&H and the deals on macmall.com are a lot better.

Well, I ordered the iMac but I'm still not sure I did the right thing. That damn 17" MacBook Pro is calling out to me

That's simply not true.

nope, just unscrew the small flap underneath the screen and slot the memory in. There are 4 slots, 2 are used by apples 2GB chips, I added another 2 x 4GB to make 12GB total...suits for most uses!

And it takes maybe 5 minutes to do. I just tripled my memory for just over $40--- how can Apple charge $400? Went from the base 4GB RAM to 12. A nice cheap and fast upgrade.

You'd think Apple would take advantage of how cheap RAM is and make their systems look even better. Imagine having 8-12 GB of RAM standard in all iMacs. Then do the expensive upgrades for 16, 24, 32.

Interesting thought, but highly unlikely right now.
