Dan I guess then Amazon it will be.

How much could it really be to change the battery?

Im not positive but if you purchase from Apple you might also get $100 for a printer....I travel from DC to NY alot and when I drive and am in the mood I stop in the Cayman Islands of America (Delaware) there is an Apple store right off the highway....Tax free

If you click the box that there was a problem with how the item was shipped or the item is defective they won't charge a restocking fee.
It can be replaced, but that will cost $$$

Amazon is a pretty big PITA when it comes to returning Macbooks so beware.

They will want you to exchange it or pay restock fee. I'm telling you this from personal experience

Interesting...never had that for any other Amazon purchase.
When you apply online for the return how would they tell you that?

Don't know if this is a cheshbon but if you buy the mac from mac, you can buy it online and get triple points from AMEX. From amazon you just get the regular amount. How much is 4000 amex points worth? (btw the 17 inch is 8% off on amazon)

Is that 60$ more than if you just got one mile per dollar or 60$ all together. Just wanted to add, that if you get the AA shopping toolbar, you'll get another mile per dollar from them from apple and not from Amazon. (btw, anyone know the cheapest place taxwise to get the macbook pro? or a way to get around it from apple? tax is around 250$!!! That's nuts!!)

Oh yeah, and Delaware has no tax. So the cheapest way to do this if you want to get the best is to buy it online with the college discount while having your amex mall and American Airlines malls on. That gets you 3 points per dollar on amex and 1 per dollar on AA and comes out to about the same price as amazon with a free ipod. Anyone out there live in Delaware? (Are there frum Jews in Delaware). I'm looking to buy one myself. Or does anyone out there want to buy a brnad new ipod touch for 110$?

You can probably sell it on ebay for more than 110
