Place To Buy New G5? Options

[Milca]

Hey guys
I have a simple question.
I’m trying to purchase new Mac dual G5 2.7 GHz
Should I purchase it from the apple store or or is it more convenient or even cheaper to do that online?
Does anybody have a experience with that?
Thank you

I believe the prices are the same online as they are at an Apple Store... of course if you buy it at a store you will have to pay tax, I assume. If you are currently enrolled in a college, check the educational thingy on the store online. You can get deals from there, but I'm also 100% sure you can get the deals in the Apple Stores as well. One downfall from the store is that you can't get it customized there. You have to order it from the Apple Company and they will ship it to you. My friend from college wanted to customize his Powerbook G4 there, but couldn't. So, it's up to you, see if tax is applicable to you for the Apple Store, and see what all you want to customize.

I agree, If you want to add extra memory or extra wireless cards etc to your mac then order online. . . If you are planning to purchase an off the shelf model then do it in the real store because Apple are so very very slow to deliver when you purchase online!

Save for the Mini if you don't want to open it… to buy RAM from Apple is dead stupid. It'll work but you pay a premium price. Also one of the best way to have a long delay from Apple is to buy a non basic standard set ups.
