which model are you getting? Macbook or Macbook Pro? What size? What Processor? How much RAM? HD size? Accessories? Layout what you want in your machine. You dont need the top spec model, when i replace my current Macbook Pro ill be getting the base model 15” Macbook Pro, and im a web designer. Just know what you want and tell them, Ive never had a problem dealing with Apple store people, generally helpful and friendly, but always helps to know what you want. you can go to here and configure the machine you want and see the price, print out the specs if you want them on hand and just go in and talk with them, tell them what you want and they will do the rest.
