What to Look For in a Store
Before making any other kind of decision, you should decide what you are looking for when you set out to decide where to buy iPad 2. Most buyers have a relatively short list, but the following criteria should always be met when shopping:
- Competitive (not necessarily lowest) price
- Easy shipping and/or pickup
- Good customer support
- Models in stock
- Choice
- Ease of purchase
The Apple Store
The first stop for many consumers looking for an iPad 2 is the Apple store. It makes sense, of course - the device is an Apple product, and one should be likely to find it in that store. Unfortunately, Apple stores tend to have a few problems that make it hard to justify shopping at such a location. The prices, despite not having to detail with as much retail overhead, are among the highest available. Apple stores also tend to quickly run out of stock of popular products due to have less stock on hand, though they are more likely to have some of the less popular iPad 2 models on hand. Customer service at such a location is often quite handy, though, and there is no denying that it is easy to shop for the product and get great in-store help at the Apple store. For most consumers, though, the store should be avoided unless it is the last possible place to shop for the item.
