Where to buy your Mac.....

[Snapple123]

Is there a big difference in buying your new Mac from a local Mac store vs. Online, (Apple.com) ??? The online store has a lot more printers to choose from -- that being said I wonder though if I want to build a relationship with my local Mac store, and the local Mac store will throw in the extended keyboard for free......

Thoughts? Many thanks.....

There's no difference, unless you're customizing your Mac configuration (drives, RAM, etc.), in which case you have to order online.

Buy where you get what you want. Don't expect anyone to "throw an extended keyboard for free".

I have been told on two different occasions, that the retail store will do so, because they do not want to open the prepackaged box, and remove the new bluetooth keyboard and replace it with an extended keyboard, so they give you a complete iMac kit, and give you an extended keyboard at no extra charge.........I will be visiting them over the next week or so, and will let you know what happens....

No difference. Try Amazon no tax where I live

Yes, they do!

My brother bought a new iMac at the Apple store yesterday, and yes, they did give him the extended keyboard for free. They do not want to break up the iMac package and are willing to do this......
