Nora, I have bought mail order and locally. I now prefer to buy locally, because you get service along with that computer, which can be invaluable. When I bought at MacTown (now MacAuthority), they helped me out when my hard drive was slowly dying by transferring my work files from my desktop to my laptop while I waited. MacMall certainly won't do that for you!
