But is it really worth getting the MacBook Pro over the regular MacBook? The
specs seem to be about the same. And the pro costs so much more in
comparison.
Thanks in advance,
Jerry

Heh dood, you might just hate this idea, and I wouldn't blaim you in the
slightest, but have you looked at ebay? They have 2.4 ghz macbook pro
units brand new going for, well last time I checked about $1800,
compaired with about $2500 in the apple store here in TO.
If you're going to pay top dollar either in store or via phone, then go
store. The store has way more going for it. Want an apple compadible tv
tooner usb or firewire device? The store has several. Case? Bluetooth
keybord? Fusion? Questions about how to do something on a mac? Want to
take a coarse in leppard? You can't do any of that over the phone, but
you can do it all in the store.
Want to bring your thing in for service? Form a relationship with the
ppl who work in the store. It's a huge investment. I bought mine from a
third party because of funding, but I'd love to get to meet people in my
friendly neighbourhood apple store at this point now that I'm
accessorizing.
Best,
Erik

I was about to get my MacBook, but wanted to know people's opinions.
Should I just get it directly from a local Apple store, or call the toll
free number or what to get it? And, is there any cheaper way to get one
than Apple, and still get one new? And one thing I never had answered
was the glossy screen. Does that cause any problems with someone sighted
who may be looking at it? Or someone vvisually impaired for that matter.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
