Where to Buy Your Apple Products

bhphoto_logoI recently had to buy a new laptop and I went to my trusty site for purchasing Apple products: B&H.

I bought a brand new MacBook Air 13.3 inches for $819. Total. No sales tax. No shipping fee.

Granted it’s a 2014 model, you still can’t find a better price for a brand new MacBook whether it’s on Amazon or Craigslist. I even get a partnership discount with Apple through my employer and that doesn’t even come close to B&H’s prices.

B&H started in 1973 with a retail photo shop in Manhattan and now they run a pretty amazing online business as well. Love their site.

They don’t sell iPhones, but they’re an authorized reseller of most other Apple products: Mac desktops, MacBooks, iPads, iPods, Apple TV and other Apple accessories.

Where do you buy your Apple goods?

Did you know that Apple earns more money than any other company in the USA? Almost $40 billion in net income in 2014. And the stock finished the year up 40%? In one year! 40%!!! Those are mind-boggling figures.

    I buy from the refurbished section of the apple online site. While not new-new, Apple has some of the best refurbishing processes in the business so you’re basically getting a new device. Also, if you know an Apple employee they get a discount on top of any already discounted prices.

    I am a sucker and usually buy directly from the Apple Store, but still that is an awesome price. Will have to keep them in mind for down the road 😉

    Hmm.. good question. I got my iMac as a hand-me-down and I bought my iPhone from Verizon. I bought my iPod years ago directly from Apple, though! Right in San Francisco at that huge store downtown! I stood in line too!

    I purchased my Mac from Apple, refurbished. I’ve shopped at B&H for photography equipment in the past, but I never thought to go there for other technology. I’ll check them out next time I need a new i-anything!
