Purchasing an iMac

[jæd]

My flatmate bought the black iBook in the end and it looks very nice indeed. I can't believe that Dell won't let you buy stuff direct. It's crazy.

If he bought a black "iBook" then your mate was ripped off...! Next time go to the Apple Store and not some Broadway store...!

iBook&MacBook whatever. It's a black thing with a 'look at me' illuminated logo on the lid.

Dell lost a sale because of their inability to sell direct. She was completely sold on the new XPS machine (it's a real beaut) and even got the subway miles to their 'shop' only to discover she could only look at the thing!

So it was a case of Dell 0 Apple 1.

Well... If she waited until next month she could've got a the new slim-line MacBooks...

Dell have always only sold direct. Its stopped me buying their monitors several times..

Apparently, Dell will be opening stores for selling direct to the public next year, although those may be US-only.

Yeah I heard that. Good news for landlords with retail real estate to lease out.
