    Can anyone recommend a place to buy a MacBook Pro in Dublin. I know I can order online from the applestore, but would prefer to deal with someone local?

    There is a terrible selection of good places in Ireland to go, talk to a salesperson and buy a mac. I'm talking, of course, about decent mac authorised retailers.

    3g is one but the staff don't really have a clue

    PC world again you're dealing with dimwits who will try to dissuade as best they can from buying a mac

    Harvey Norman sell them but at V high prices

    Spectra are good but their selection is not great. I suppose spectra on the bottom of Grafton St. are kinda good. At least they are a mac reseller.

    but then after that, I don't know ( particularly in Dublin ) a good place to talk to someone who knows about macs.

    The other option, which is quite cheap, is to go to the apple store in Belfast. Bit of a distance to go for a macbook tho.

    .

    I bought one in the 3G store in Blanchardstown last year I found the guy there pretty knowledgeable on them..

    PC world now have a little Apple store within now..
    But if its run by regular PC world staff then forget it.
    Don't know why Harvey Norman would be any dearer. I thought Apple set the retail prices for everything. That was certinly the case when I got mine.
