hmm... when I buy my powerbook, should I buy it from apple's online store, or their physical store in the mall? Does online charge tax? cause if I DID buy it at their real store, it would be about $120 in taxes!

    The Apple Store does charge sales tax. Other retailers don't. You should buy elsewhere if you don't have a really good reason to buy from the Apple Store.

    it's because the apple store has studen discounts. Do other stores have it?

    That's what I would call a really good reason. Even the Apple retail stores give you your student discount. No, other stores don't give you a student discount.

    If you buy online on a store that does not exist in your state, you save sales tax. My choises are between macmall.com and jandr.com. Maybe macmall this time.

    Yes they do. I got a .gov discount on J&R for the iPod. When I could prove them why I should get .gov price, and that apple gave it for that and that price for .govs.

    Student discount is bigger than the .gov discount.
