Order the MacBook from PowerMax to avoid sales tax. PowerMax is based in Oregon, so there will be $0 in tax.

Siska - my newest one just broke last week. Less than 6 months old. Losing count of how many this makes that I've shelled out good money for. Brand new each. I'm looking....I may be a fool, but I'm thinking of trying the wireless. Doubt it will be much better - Apple doesn't seem much interested in making decent, reliable keyboards or mouse for their MacBook Pro ---- and considering how much they both cost, why would they want to stop gouging the customers now when there is money to be made? I'll write a review when I get a wireless. I will warn you, however: I once tried a non-Apple wireless system, and it destroyed my macbook pro. I mean....ate it up. I had to send it away for serious repair.

Hi, David, We have six Macintosh laptops in our household, ranging from 2 500 MHz ice ibooks bought back in 2000 to a new Macbook and a new Macbook pro. All of them are still working really well, given their ages and what we've put them through. There have been some flaws, yes, but no more flaws than friends who have PC laptops have endured (and they're in worse shape than we are sometimes). We have gotten two lemons; my partner's Ti Powerbook had a manufacturing flaw that showed up causing the motherboard to short circuit, and my first Macbook had a literally warped case, which meant it cracked. However, those can happen to anyone and it was just bad luck as far as I'm concerned -- he bought his through the apple online store, I got mine in person at the apple store. Buy Applecare. ALWAYS. And never go to the Genius bar if you can avoid it -- it's named ironically. Applecare and the applecare 800 number are your best bet. The bigger test I think is the powerbooks and ibooks that are now 4 and 8 years old, respectively. They're all going strong. One's our file server, one's a music server for the house, one runs a linux test environment, and one's in my kitchen, serving as my recipe library and media etc center. They all get a lot of work, and other than all being restarted every sunday night at 8, they pretty much run continually. Of course they're out of battery, but that's to be expected. Batteries don't last forever. Good luck, and I hope this helped!

In california the tax hike on a $2,000 machine would put Amazon at an advantage. It would be almost a $200 savings no matter what the price matching does. By the way, if your Mac goes bad at any time during the duration of its warrantee Apple will take care of it directly, especially if there's AppleCare involved. You wouldn't have to deal with Amazon at all unless it you were just returning it because you didn't want it.

The ink supply has nothing to do with mac. It is simply an ink set. The individual probably had clogged ink heads and needed to clean the heads to clear air pockets or something in the printer heads. The printer is controlled by the mac or pc or tablet. It is like putting a different brand of oil into your car.

I think i'd be willing to do this with either of you, I'm getting one of these whenever my tax return gets here --- was estimated for today but isn't here. Should be here by the end of the month. Anyway, I need the 256 but would love it if I could save a couple hundred bucks on the 128 and then just trade. My only problem is how to do it so we're both comfortable and not going to get duped. willdeng I don't have an e-mail for you, repost one if you still have one up for grabs. Leandro, I will e-mail you. I'll see what can be worked out between one of you.

I'm not sure. You'll have to contact the folks at macsales.com to confirm. If it doesn't they should offer a different version that does.

I would suggest calling Amazon to ask them. Since I do not have a MAC, I am unable to answer. Sorry

It's now 12/28/07. So what's the situation w/ leopard etc? Has any one ordered a macbook from Amazon since nov 25th 07?Amazon.com? What's the deal with not stating what OS comes with the Macbooks you are shipping out? It might be actually causing drop in Macbook sales for you guys. Get with it and state that 'yes they do come with Leopard now!' I'd rather purchase from Amazon (less scary return policy) but I might have to order from Macconnection.com as the price is the same (actually with them you don't have go thru the hassle of the rebate as their price reflects $100 discount) and their site clearly states that they do come with Leopard and iLife 08....

Good point. It's October and the Amazon iMacs still ship with Snow Leopard? Every other reseller I've checked is offering models with Lion pre-installed. You guys just lost a sale.

Upon purchasing my computer, the specs show "Mac OS X v10.5.6" as my OS. So, I am wondering if there is some information that is screwed up. All I know is my computer came with Snow Leopard on it, and I upgraded it to Mavericks. Let me find the seller of my Mac. I will forward that information to you. They may be able to help you better than I. Upon searching for the seller of my computer, I didn't seem to locate anything other than their name: The Mac Toy Store. I am pretty sure you can Google the name and find their contact information. They were super helpful throughout my purchase. Good luck!!!

I don't have experience with MAC. However, I am having issues currently with the system. A cloud change was made and all my records are missing. Not very excited about it at this time.

There is a site called Appleinsider.com that compares all the online sources, including the apple site itself, and prices for apple products. It is quite amazing the difference in prices, and they also tell you if the shipping is free and if taxes apply. Some of the sources even spread your payments out over a year. Good site for keeping up to date with all apple products.

SO it says in the comment above that you should be able to download the software for Mac. This is why I purchased this device, and then when I called customer service the guy tells me the only software they have is in miniature cd format??? WTF.

It isn't that easy. There wasn't anything very helpful online. If you kept your receipt it may be noted in the product description. I didn't find an answer so just guessed (and lucked out). Also you might your Apple store. Good luck!

It was just like the pic... And I needed to download osx with my money at mac store! I mean it wasn't bad condition, but It wasn't that healthy too... Well now I am trying to sell this laptop again. This is my response of the macbook, enough?

I have already downloaded my one state software. I tried to do another state and my TaxCut version (Mac Premium Federal + State) says it is $29.95 per additional state. Hope that answers your question.
