Default Would you buy an Ipad at Walmart or Target?

I am looking into about buying an Ipad 2 and was wondering where most of you bought yours. I'm not real crazy about Best Buy...Opinions please! Thanks

From what I understand, it doesn't make a difference where you buy an Apple device because A) the products are all the same and B) none of the sellers provide 'service' - all service must be done direct by Apple (meaning you can't even bring the device to the store and let the store send it to Apple - the consumer must deal direct with Apple for all service).

but ... that's only what I heard, you might want to verify that.

Check the Apple website, too, and go to Apple store and scroll to the bottom to refurbished. You get the same warranty with a discounted price, if the product is available -- not a bad way to go!

Agree, I would check the apple website! However, I have a friend that buys all his electronics at Walmart, maybe not the most updated and latest products but certaintly does want we need. Afterall, 5 days after you buy electronics they become outdated fast. I say do your homework, check around and ask others before spending your money. One nice thing about Walmart is their return policy, something to check out.

I would if it was a better price. I prefer Target over Wall Mart though. Excellent customer service and easy returns. Apple supports their products no matter where they were purchased.

I would confirm at the electronic desk that it could be returned if opened, before purchasing one there. I heard here that someone had a bit of a hassle to return one but did finally get it resolved.
