ShankNuts Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Hey guys...looking to buy an iBook after having just graduated from college. Where does everyone recommend buying one and is there ever a chance of a price cuy when buying from a reseller? I'm currently on a PC but have been fascinated with owning a Mac for a few months now...thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Well... There's smalldog.com, macconnection.com, macmall, maczone... Smalldog and macconnection have good prices. I got my G4 powermac at macconnection. I'd recommend them. The Apple store is good as well. Or if your trusting...ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebOrbiter Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 If you are still registered at your college USE THE EDUCATION DISCOUNT from Apple.com, otherwise any of the places superfula said are fine. Just make sure you get the extended warranty, even though iBooks are so reliable and durable as all, I'm still very glad I got it. Overnight shipping to Apple repair shop, 3 day turnover, overnight back to you, nothing out of pocket, not even shipping. Nobody else I know does that. :bandit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessejlt Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 I would buy something such as this locally...in fact thats exactly what I did. Even if there ins't an actual Apple Store near you, I'm sure if you look in the phone book (or net) you can find an Apple Authorized Dealer close enough, this is who I would buy from. The people that work in these stores are great. I've had to take them my laptop a couple times after logging in as root and ****ing up shells. They never charge and are always eager to teach you new ****. When it comes to Apple hardware, the prices are pretty much set, you're only saving a few dollars if you try to track down deals (assuming you're buying new) so it's very worth the extra couple of bones to buy locally. jesse ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowpie Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 No, the way that ill hopefully get a iBook is a lil more illegal but...... WAIT A SECOND! I have another idea, get a JOB at a mac store, and then u can become good frineds with the owner and u can just slip one ibook out and be like 'i saw a italian guy running with a ibook and he got away' and u got yourself a ibook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkleytone Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 if you havent bought already, check out General Cybernetics they have some amazing package deals, and average pricing on individual things. the great thing about the packages tho, is that most of them are something people would actually buy. check out the iBook special. its great.
