They are offering 18mos no interest financing. Just wondering if anyone has bought from them and what the service is like.
Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.

Don't know about your regional area, but in FL the BestBuy's dont' carry Apple products. I think they recently started carrying the iPod's but that's it. Try a CompUSA store. They may occasionally have similiar offers.

They don't carry them in my local store either but you can order it from their website and get the same financing.

There are only a few brick and mortar BB stores that actually carry Apple products in the store as part of the pilot program with Apple. Otherwise, the laptops are only available online.

As far as buying from their website, it will be their standard policies. Money back guarantee in 14 days. However since it's a laptop, you will be subjected to a 15% restocking fee should you open the laptop and decide to return it.

The Best Buy on 23rd street (Chelsea location) in Manhattan now has the entire line...The set-up was kind of shabby, not in a prominent spot, or set up as well as most CompUSAs that I've seen (which is saying something). They have a 15" iMac, 17" iMac, iBook, 12" and 15" Powerbooks, a G4, and even a G5.

Most of them were not in great shape, as far as the actual hardware as well as the desktop and OS...

If a "flagship" Best Buy location can't do the Apple thing right, I don't see any of the smaller locations doing it. This will be just like Circuit City; it'll last for a while and then be phased out..
