Here's the link where you can find the best prices. Both The Apple Store and BestBuy will both price match.
AppleInsider | News and rumors since 1997##

I would take a print out of the price to the store and they are just going to verify it. If you look at Best Buy they have a price match guarantee and B&H Photo is listed as one of the places they price match.
Another thing I found out was the MacBook Laptops are guaranteed for 1 year and also have a 90 day free calling for support. But if you want the extended warranty you can purchase that as well any time during your first year. The extra warranty is for 3 years on both calling and parts and labor. But it will start the day you purchased the laptop. Another words your not getting any extra time by waiting. But usually if something were to happen it would be in the first year. I'm not saying not to get the extra warranty but in my case I'm going to wait get it later. The warranty is not good for accidental like if you spilled something or dropped it and broke the screen. But if the screen began ghosting or something like that it would be covered. BestBuy has a warranty for accidentals if you were to break the screen the cost I believe is $400 but I'm not sure how many years I think 3.

I went to the B&H website and saw the cheaper prices, so i will definitely be mentioning price match when I go and will have the website pulled up. Thanks for the tip!

I use Keynote instead of Power Point for presentations. I prefer it and use it all the time. It has more features and makes my presentations look much more professional. I would imagine that page is a word or layout program and numbers is probably some sort of spread sheet program, but I am not 100% sure. Hope this helps.

I have both Pages is the Apple version of Word, Numbers = excel, Keynote = power point.

I have both the Apple versions and MS Office. I was leery at first of going to the apple versions, but after using them both for a few weeks, I have to say that I now love the Apple products, especially when doing a graphic heavy paper or presentation. I find them much easier to use and customize.

The one drawback I have found is that there are not as many templates available for the Apple products as there are for MS Office.
