where is the best place to buy a a macbook pro for i can get the best deals and lowest prices?

Answer 1

Hi Mike...although the other person makes a good point, the essential fact is that Mac's sold are not discounted unless you are a student or an educator, this then would be the exception. Apple/Mac computers has no competition unlike the PC market therefore price fixing is evident. The alternative recommendation would be to consider finding one on eBay since some people list brand new Macbook Pros there frequently.

PC= Dell, IBM, Compaq, Hp, Alienware, etc
Mac=Apple and only Apple

Answer 2

This hold true for all computers...

The only logical result -- the one I've seen dozens of times -- of the "how low can you go" game is that you have unhappy customers and a vendor who goes out of business.

So, if you want the lowest price, then that's a simple google deal. You'll get low price, probably have the vendor try to rip you off, have crappy service and be calling up the Better Business Bureau to complain.

If you want the best deal, find the vendor with the best reputation. Pay a little extra and it will insure that you're dealing with a vendor that is profitable, reputable and able to help you if things go wrong.

Don't buy the cheapest product -- "Gosh, I bought a $500 computer and I wonder why it has awful tech support with people who can't speak English".

This is like getting a hair cut -- you can get a $5 hair cut, or a $25 hair cut. Either way you have to live with it for the next 6-8 weeks. Now, when you've looking dorky with the $5 hair cut, how cheap does that extra $20 look now?
