BestBuy To Carry Mac Mini

News from cNet.com

BestBuy is now going to sell the Mac Minis. And personally I cannot wait. Just think of all the Best Buy salespeople telling you how these are the greatest thing since sliced bread and offering you their *great* protection plans on the Macs. Since we all know how educated their salespeople are I expect that my Mac Mini will have some cutting edge processor that outguns any PC and that it will be able to do anything that I expect right off the bad, oh yeah and that it will make my iPod work 1000% better since its a Mac. And why not pick up some $250 ram upgrades and cables while I am at it. If you can't tell by now I am not a fan of BestBuy or their policies of blacklisting certain customers and opening products in store (to check if they are giving you the right product then claiming that you opened it so you own them 15% restocking fee when trying to return the item) ...

I expect that these Mac Minis will sell well, but that BestBuy will continue its reputation as one of the retailers with the worst customer service practices in the industy. Ah well, at least Dell still loves everyone (if you saw their ads a few months ago =p)
