Ok to buy Mac from Amazon? Why?

I have purchased 2 macs from Amazon with no problems, both were new non refurb units. Just make sure you buy it from Amazon and not an Amazon reseller

Not through Apple as far as I know, but you can check the seller's return policy. If it is not clear as posted on Amazon, or you're not getting clear feedback from the seller when and if you try contact them, then you may want to try another seller. The one I purchased works as advertised, and I have had no reasons to require a warranty. Macs are generally reliable products, and this one seems to fit the mold. Good luck with your purchase.

Christopher has the right idea. Check with Apple Jeffery. Options like the i7 2.6GHz processor and the Fusion Drive are BTO(Build to Order) options. You can get them directly from Apple online or at any Apple store. I went through the same thing with Best Buy until I realized what BTO meant. There is a short wait while they build your machine. It is actually kind of cool if you think about it, this way your Mac is assembled especially for you.

Has anyone ordered a Macbook Pro Retina on Amazon.com gotten theirs delivered ?

I've been wondering that myself so I emailed customer service. The response I got back said she had confirmed it was shipping with iLife '08, but then as proof, she copied the details from the product page that said iLife '06. I wrote back asking for verification since there was the discrepancy. The next customer service person to answer couldn't even find the Macbook Pro and sent me a link to a Family Tree software product (???) and suggested calling Apple for help. I called Amazon customer service, but the person I spoke with also could only refer to the webpage and wasn't sure how recently their stock was purchased from Apple. Now, I love amazon as much as the next regular customer, but only being able to give me information I could already get myself is not my idea of helpful customer service! (I did try calling Apple, too, but as expected, they had no way of knowing how recent Amazon's stock is.) Anyway, sorry I don't have the answer, but if anyone else has purchased it recently, I'd be interested to hear as well.

You (and I) might consider buying the laptop from Apple who has it in stock and buying the warranty and other accessories here. I don't know why amazon lists this if they never have it in stock and there isn't a reliable ship date estimate.

if you can't wait without having the computer i would definitely wait....who knows what Macworld is going to bring us. I have been waiting since August to buy a MBP or MB (first, it was leopard and now i have been fine living without one so I might as well see what's new.)

And to add insult to injury, Amazon just sent me an e-mail with the subject line: Accessorize Your Amazon.com Apple MacBook Pro MB604LL/A 17-Inch Laptop! This e-mail contains items that Amazon recommends that I purchase as add-ons to my laptop. How wonderful! Thanks Amazon! So, here are examples of extra money I can pay you for *now*, since the add-on items are all available, to go with my new laptop which you have no idea when I'll actually have in my hands? Terrific! You guys are the best!

Reading the Apple Support forums, people are getting the black MacBooks now from Amazon even when they are quoted a July shipping date. Also, in the MB 1.83 Ghz Amazon forum, someone mentioned that he got his shipped and delivered earlier this month even when quoted a late shipping date.So I think that Amazon is just being conservative as Apple is notorious for not having enough supply for their products. I think Amazon is just trying to cover their butts in case Apple can't meet demand and doesn't allocate enough shipments to Amazon.

I suppose Amazon is offering it:Apple MacBook Pro Z0J62LL/A 15.4" Laptop (OLD VERSION)

I think it falls under Amazon's plan since you're not buying it from Apple: "Amazon.com Return Policy: You may return any new computer purchased from Amazon.com that is "dead on arrival," arrives in damaged condition, or is still in unopened boxes, for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. Amazon.com reserves the right to test "dead on arrival" returns and impose a customer fee equal to 15 percent of the product sales price if the customer misrepresents the condition of the product. Any returned computer that is damaged through customer misuse, is missing parts, or is in unsellable condition due to customer tampering will result in the customer being charged a higher restocking fee based on the condition of the product. Amazon.com will not accept returns of any desktop or notebook computer more than 30 days after you receive the shipment. New, used, and refurbished products purchased from Marketplace vendors are subject to the returns policy of the individual vendor."

When you buy in apple you need to paid taxes, that why is almost the same price or more expensive at the store. I saw a few other online store selling the mac around $1100 after the $100 rebate, with free shipping and tax include. I hope amazon lower the price to $1100. I prefer to buy in amazon because I'm a prime member.

No, you cannot. Per the Apple store. I guess that is the trade off, saving money by buying on Amazon, you lose that option. BTW, I found all the answers to my questions by googling/youtube or going to lynda.com ($25 will get you hours of training). Hope this helps!

I ordered mine on Sept 21 and still have had no luck, unfortunately, I can't just cancel my order and buy straight from apple because of some amazon gift cards I used to purchase it. When these gift cards are gone, I hope to not be doing much, if any, more business with amazon.

I send the Mac with OSX Mavericks. Amazon does not let Sellers Update Specifications on All Amazon Listings. I cannot speak for Other Sellers. The Finest Macbooks -

I have tried contacting Amazon to find out when the iMacs with Leopard be available and no one seems to know... does anyone know when it will be?
