Is it reliable to buy Macbook from MacMall?

MacMall provide $100 mail-in rebate form all the Macbook. It's even cheaper than educational discount. Therefore, I wanna buy one from them. Is it reliable?

You've got to be joking!!! However, if you're serious, I strongly recommend you go to www.macbookrandomshutdown.com and read some of the comments posted before shelling out your hard-earned dough!
I love love love my MacBook -- when it's working. Unfortunately, that's not too often. You see, MacBooks have a propensity to suffer from Random Shutdown Syndrome (unaffectionately known as RSS) and Apple's customer service has been less than perfect to say the least.
Just something to consider

A MacBook will have a one-year manufacturer's warranty no matter where you buy it.

Buying macbook from america

i am looking at buying a macbook from america and getting my friend to send it out to me because it is a lot cheaper than buying it in australia. will there be any limitations if she buys it with her itunes account? and do you know of any taxes that may incur as it enters australia?

Games or software in general don't have regional zoning, I bought games in the US many times without any problems.
Regarding Universal Binary, you should have a look there:

This is a report of games that are UB, and more importantly, wether a particular non-UB game works or not on Intel-based macs.
This is generally reliable, although I noticed that Star Wars Knights of Old Republic (KOTOR) doesn't work, and the UB patch that should have been available never came...

Buy MacBook from other countries?

English:
Hi, im from germany.
i moved to canada yesterday.
i would like to buy a macbook pro with retina display but with a german keyboard.
is there a possibility to buy a macbook pro with retina display and german keyboard??
If not, can i buy it from the apple store in germany with the delivery adress from kanada??
German:
Hi, ich bin aus Deutschland.
Gestern bin ich nach Kanada umgezogen.
Ich moechte mir ein MacbookPro mit retina Display kaufen mit deutscher Tastatur.
Ist das moeglich??
Wenn nicht, kann ich denn eins aus dem Deutschen Apple-Store eins kaufen mit der Lieferadresse in Kanada??

The store may have issues with the payment, the Fatherland may have issues with the taxes and you may have issues with the shipping costs. But like I said, never hurts to try.
And using a phone to talk to a human can also go a long way...

Nope. You need to buy it from within Ireland. Apple ships only within the country in which it was ordered.

Purchasing macbook from reseller

are there any drawbacks to purchasing a new macbook from macmall.com or amazon.com rather than from the APPLE store?
why is the macbook much cheaper at these sites than from apple.com?

My experience has been that resellers don't usually sell Apple products for more than just a few $$ less (not usually more than $10-$15)... I believe this is required by Apple in order for them to keep their Apple Authorized Reseller status. If there is a big price difference, it is usually for older models. The MacBooks were recently upgraded, so they may be selling off old stock. The older MacBooks are still excellent machines... so if you find a good deal, there is certainly nothing wrong with going that route... you just want to be sure that the specs are what you want. Sometimes you can get an older revision cheaper... but if you were to bump up the amount of memory installed and take into consideration a larger hard drive... getting a MacBook directly from Apple would be a comparable value.

Buying games from America for Macbook Pro

I have just purchased a macbook pro (still waiting its arrival) and wish to purchase a few games to kill time on long journeys. Firstly what are the implications of buying games from the US (cost, region settings, import costs if any)??? and secondly if i buy a game that doesn't have a Universal symbol will it still run on the intel based macbook pro??? i only ask because i've got a Quad G5 running on the power pc chip and wish to play games on that too?
thanks
P.S. i want my macbook pro

Yes. Apple care is associated with the serial number, and stays with the machine even if you where to sell the machine before the Apple care expires.

No. Macs cannot run a system that is older than the hardware. You can however pick up a copy of Snow Leopard Server and run it in a virtual machine using Parallels.

HT201300 i want to buy macbook pro 15 inche ritna display from egypt & i want to know if it was referbushed or not, how can i tell

so please advise
BR

Once, Apple refurbs had serial numbers starting with "R" or "RM." That faded away several years ago so I don't think you can tell from the serial number any more. However, the carton is rather plain and says something like "Apple Refurbished Product" on it
Most of the "mission-critical" Macs at our house are refurbs bought directly from Apple USA. They have all given superb and trouble-free service.

Buying Macbook components from Apple for self repair

Has anyone here had any experience with buying components from Apple?
The fan in my Macbook is on its way out. Some times it spins right up and works ok. Sometimes it struggles, spins slowly then stops. Its been making a noise for a couple weeks now but its only the last couple days that its stopped altogether. When it does this i can hear it is trying to fire up but cant. A reboot normally sorts it out.
My warranty has expired and my local Apple dealer tell me its going to be a standard £75 charge for labour plus the cost of the parts. Now call me stingy but £100 sounds pretty steep for a new fan / heatsink and fan combo!
Ive built, fixed and upgraded many a PC and had most Mac models in bits at some point so im more than happy to replace the parts myself. However my local Apple store tell me that a part of their license with Apple states that they will not sell parts on, they are only allowed to repair them on site.
Has anyone here ever managed to get Apple to send out components such as these for a DIY repair?

This site will give you parts and an online take apart manual as well..
