About MacConsultants^™
                          The Clear Choice for Mac Solutions! Assisting Consumers, Business, Education & Government since 1992...
  
  Since 1992, (longer than the majority of Mac sales and service companies) MacConsultants has been a leading Bay Area, Ca Solutions provider to individuals, businesses, and government agencies. Unlike many Apple products sources which just "sell the box," we add value with personalized, expert Mac Consulting, Sales and Services. If you just want "the box" we can sell it too. Being one of the longstanding and experienced authorized Apple Value Added Reseller Partners (VAR) and Apple Service Facilitators, we have the edge with our experience and reliability including over the Apple "Genius" Bar.

• We Serve: individuals, small, medium, large businesses, schools and government agencies. Generally, Mac Users who need products and services everywhere.
  

• Our Solutions: general business, graphics design, publishing, digital imaging & video, networking (including Xserve, RAID, wireless, streaming audio, etc.), multimedia (including Web) and mobile computing.
  

• We are different... Why? because we provide the winning combination of expertise, personalized service, along with the widest selection of Mac Products available almost anywhere... You receive what you want, where you want and depending on availability, when you want it! A no-brainer. We also perform onsite Mac services in the Bay Area, Ca.
  

•  We do not operate expensive walk-in retail stores, or huge mail-order call centers, which raises your costs alot, so we pass the savings of our operating efficiencies on to you, with lower prices on most Mac Products!  We sell thousands of 3rd party Mac Products, with a much bigger selection, than the Apple Stores, both online and retail.
   

• No Phony Sales Gimmicks
  You've seen these promotions at other online Mac sites to entice you to buy a Mac:
  "buy a Mac (at the high retail price) and we will include a "free" memory upgrade and/or some other "free" item, such as a (cheap) printer." Have you read the small print below them?
  Here is the real story behind these "free" promotions:
  -for "free memory upgrades, they charge you $40 per Mac, to install a cheap, generic memory, which you should skip paying, by simply installing it yourself (clear & easy instructions are in your manual). In addition, if their memory is bad you have to sometimes return the whole machine back to them! Also, these promotions are a hassle, and in our opinion  deceptive, because you end up paying upfront for these so-called "free" products, then you have to download one of their "rebate" forms, (hopefully fill-it out so it is acceptable to them), and then submit it to them, (or call them). Either way, you have to wait for them to give you your money back! Hopefully, you do, but how long will it take? Of course you will probably end up calling them, to check and see if they sent it out... (this, is on top of having to pay them $40 for a memory installation, which you can do yourself). You can avoid these "free" sales gimmick promotions by purchasing your new Mac(s) from MacConsultants. We just simply, give you better prices up front,and you get the Mac Solution you really need, (like the right printer), plus, there are no forms, calls, and waiting for yor money back! It is simply a much better Mac purchasing experience. In addition, if you require pre-purchasing advice, just Contact Us and talk to one of our Mac experts- it is always free!
  
  We only offer authorized sales promotions/rebates from manufacturer's such as Apple, Epson...
   

• Our experienced and trained MacConsultants utilize the latest real-time information systems, so you receive the current sales and service information, allowing you to make the best purchasing decision, every time!

In addition, we do it more efficiently, because you do not have to go out somewhere, wait around for questionable assistance, and probably of it pay higher prices. Instead, just Contact Us and we will get your order going the same day!

• Your wallet: it is easy, just compare our pricing on many products, versus other authorized (not 'gray market') sources, including: the Apple Store, local/regional retail Mac-only stores, consultants, large systems integrators, electronic "superstores", office supply warehouses, mail-order, the Internet.

• A Note about "Grey Marketers"
  there are many unauthorized sources for Apple and other Mac Products, including "grey marketers," that appear to be Apple Authorized and legitimate, but are not. They are on the internet, and have outlets in your community. What this means to you is that, if you purchase from one of these "grey marketers," you cannot obtain authorized service on your Apple product from any Apple Authorized Service Provider worldwide using their invoice. Also, you will not be able to obtain in warranty Apple Tech Support from Apple if you experience problems. These are only some of the problems you may experience after the sale, when you purchase Apple products from unauthorized sources. Therefore, we advise, it is in your best interests to purchase your Apple products from an authorized Apple affiliate, such as MacConsultants. We meet Apple's and other manufacturer's high standards to represent and sell their products.
  
  Thank You for visiting- we look forward to assisting you with your Mac needs soon...
