MacBook purchase
 

Time for a new laptop, and have been shopping at OWC for a refurb. But, I figured my Delta buds would know the best price, at the right place to buy. So....ideas???
Thanks in advance.

Oh, currently looking at a 13" Macbook Pro, i5, 2.5GhZ processor, 16GB RAAM, 500G hard drive, $849.00

MacDonalds is selling computers?

^^^Not sure, but I believe you're thinking of McDonalds, but, won't presume.^^^

:D just havin a little fun.....

Go to Delta perks and then Apple. They have a link to the Refurb site where you get a additional discount as a Delta employee.

B&H Photo is a good place to start.

Appleinsider(dot)com has a good buying matrix listing current best deals (including Apple Support, if you want it). In general, B&H Photo provides fantastic and professional service and support, with no tax unless you ship within NY.

...but, also, as Sailing mentioned, try Delta's coporate rate thru Delta Perks, it's often about 6%-ish off list price, which is a deal in Apple-land. I don't believe you get an additional discount on top of the Delta discount, just the refurb deal, which is great

Also look at the bottom of the Delta-Apple site for refurbished section, Apple usually has excellent deals on equipment a generation, or two (or three) older, fully refurbished, full-up warrantee. Kinda like buying a Certified Pre-Owned car, but better, since it's been remanufactured with full fresh battery, etc.

Best deal of the emp discount that I see is 6% off, which barely covers taxes, in GA. Hadn't heard of the B&H Photo. Much thanks!

Re: Mac
 

I have owned Macs and PCs. I have come to the conclusion that I can buy two or three PCs for the price of a Mac and update computers every three years and not have near the compatibility issues. It just depends what you are going to use it for.
