Welcome to Doctor Mac's virtual Apple computer store. Until recently, there's been a dearth of places to buy a new Macintosh in the Coachella Valley. It's 70+ miles to an official Apple Store at Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga. CompUSA San Bernardino 55mi was the closest Apple Authorized Dealer, but CompUSA closed that store. Fortunately, Apple's partnership with BestBuy is filling the Mac gap across the country.

In it's latest quarterly Conference Call, Apple announced Best Buy is now an Apple Authorized Mac Reseller slated for over 270 store locations by year end. And they're doing just that: For Palm Springs Mac lovers, BEST BUY PALM DESERT AT DESERT CROSSINGS recently installed it's Apple Computer section: A large Apple-Logo'd display backdrop, with a table gallery of Macs on display, plus a basic section of accessories and top software titles. The La Quinta BestBuy has Apple store section as well. Clues lead to a possible Best Buy selling Mac stuff in Palm Springs, possibly near the new development at Ramon & Gene Autry. Woo-Hoo!

However, the kind of sales experience BestBuy will provide Mac affectionados remains to be seen. With my expert guidance we can fine-tune the right solution - BEFORE you head off on a shopping trip - and I'll help set it up and make it all work. Rely on my wisdom as a Certified Apple Product Professional to help you buy what's really right for YOUR needs - and save you money in the process.
