Buy iPad from PC World/Curry's or www.Apple.ie

    Was wondering is it better to buy an iPad from PC World instead of the Apple website. I am worried that if I have a problem with it that it would be easier to bring it back to the store I bought it in, instead of the hassle of sending it back to apple?

    Has anyone got any views on this or am I better buying from Apple directly?

    If you have trouble then any authorised service provider (CompuB for example) will take it back, regardless of where you bought it.

    I would of presumed ipads are the same with regards repairs as the iphone, none of the authorised repair centres are authorised for iphones, just macs

    Op even if you buy direct from apple and something goes wrong they will send out a box and a bag for you to send it back to them

    It all depends when you want it? Now, then in a store. No rush, flip a coin.

    Can't get it in any store in Sligo for 2-3 weeks though...Apple would be quicker at this stage

    Personally I have always found Apple's customer service second to none, I always thought that if you do have a problem during warranty that the vendor will send to Apple anyway.
