Mac peeps, what am I missing?

[Ghoulish Delight]

Yeah, shipping's free through Apple. But the tax and the lack of rebates is still enough that a site like macconnection would be a better deal. Even if the 10% discount makes the system $100 cheaper through Apple, tax is like $140, the memory upgrade, free at macconnection, is $100 through Apple or like $80 if I buy the memory retail. So that's already enough to make macconnection cheaper. So we'll see. We're not going to buy for at least a few months, right now I'm just nailing down what's what and what to look for. Once we're more clear on what we want and are making a decission, we'll have to do a complete price comparisson.
