My brother is heading out to New York soon. So I was wondering if anyone here knew of the best/cheapest shops in New York for buying a new laptop/mac book???

any help would be much appreciated.

Probably the Apple Store on corner of Central Park would be your best bet. If you walk right to the top of 7th avenue so your looking at central park , turn right and walk straight to the end of the street you'll see the Apple store in all its glory! Won't find the laptop any cheaper than there I imagine. Although I do remember CompUSA (if thery're still open) on 5th or 6th Avenue doing refirbished Mac's if that interests you.

CompUSA don't exist anymore.. There is a few Best Buy's in Manhattan. One is south from the CompUSA that the poster above mentioned..

As for not finding a laptop for any cheaper than the Apple store

If you were abe to find the other stores, you would prob be able to save quite a bit.

I bought a basic Gateway laptop for my sis when I over their in August. Twas a 1.7 GHz Celeron, 512mb RAM, 80GB HDD, DVD-RW with a 14.1 inch screen. Cost $370 at the time. Just swapped out the power cable and had no problems.

J & R seemed like a pretty good shop when I was last in it (in 2003)

their website seems pretty good too: http://www.jr.com

I'm not sure how they compare price-wise though
