Benefits of buying mac b'Aretz ?   Message List

RE: [isramac] Benefits of buying mac b'Aretz ?

I checked the archives before I posted a similar question – and never saw a drirect answer to the  discussion – has anyone actually put one the beautifully crafted IMAC on a plane??  My Dad is thinking of bringing one back – but don’t want to end up with Rice Krispies when it gets off the plane!

 

So – is there special insurance?

I saw special travel cases – but one for the 24 inch version.

 

TIA and Shabbat Shalom -

Thanks for bringing that up.. im thinking about bringing in a 24" imac... though still trying to figure out how to get it back in my luggage..  if its a 300.00 difference.. perhaps its simply easier to get it here.. if the markup is severe..almost cheaper to buy the imac a coach seat. and bring it on the plane.

Without mam there is about a $300 price difference for the macbook

What are the benefits of buying here as opposed to having some one 
bring it from the US ?

Is it worth the $300 USD ?

Take a look at the date of a temp file. If it is NOT from the last time you booted your computer, but earlier, it's often a lost puppy that can be erased. ...
