I just priced out a Quad PowerMac and noticed that system prices and the select menus recompute the system price in realtime. Switch to an option that reads "... [Add $100]" and in a second the sidebar will update, hi-lighting the change and updating the total price. The menu will then update so that your previous option will read "... [Subtract $100]". Nice!



Nothing like a little javascript to improve the shoppin' experience.



Anyone else see something new? Comments on this feature?

    It's been there for a few weeks or months even. I brought it up a few weeks ago, and everyone said it had been there for a while.

    Really? Doh! Sounds like I need to shop on the Apple Online Store more.

    Although this post on Daring Fireball seems to support my claim that it's a new feature. They always had an "Update Total" button, but now its dynamic and "flashy".

    I don't know about those radio buttons - I don't see them in my store. But the auto-update has definitely been there for at least several weeks. I configure Macs all the time and almost click the purchase button.
