All in all, a Mac is a very stable system. The advantage over a PC is that Mac computers have a low security risk online—they are much less vulnerable to viruses and trojans. Read on to learn how to get a Mac computer for the best price online.


      Choose a Mac computer that best suits your needs. Once you have done this, open your Web browser and go to any search engine.

      Search for a model that you are interested in.
  

      Look at a few retailers--usually three to five--for the best prices available on the computer. Take notes so you can compare prices and features.
  

      Make sure you are getting a monitor, keyboard and mouse with your Mac computer. You will need these items to run your computer. Make sure that it also comes with the operating software or platform and cables to hook everything up.
  

      Compare the overall prices of a few quotes. Figure out which one is the best and do not forget to include taxes and shipping. If you are planning on financing the computer, you should make sure to include the interest cost in the price.
  

      Make your final decision. Revisit the Web site of the retailer you are buying from to purchase the computer.

Your best prices are honestly going to be through apple directly. Prices range from $1200-$2500 depending on the style of mac you want and need.
The Mac mini may be your best option so I have added it along with the new iMac and finally the G5.
