Wal-Mart to sell Apple computers?

[missAUDACITY]

I know this is an old video, but I really hope they DO get around to making it so people can purchase the computers from Walmart at SOME poiny. I'm from the suburbs, and the closest Apple Store to me is an hour's drive away-- because there's not a SINGLE store in my ENTIRE state. (WV) It's maddening! >:(

@missAUDACITY I feel your pain, I do not know what I would do if I did not live close to an Apple store! :(

Well it really would be a good idea for apple to be selling their apple computers at Wal-mart since there are so many and if like they're going to make a custom notebook just for selling at walmart like a netbook, maybe the MacBook Mini then apple would really get more popular then...

@laptoplover2 good point, in terms of Apple having their computers in many different markets would open up sales.

I agree. When I first got my macbook pro, my dad told me he was gunna drive me to BestBuy. But I really wanted to go to the Apple store instead and he took me there. I agree. Mac's are much better than PC's.

@thecreativewebshow Apple store is way better than a Wal-mart! lol

Todd! I missed ya bud! Where have you been? Anyway, imagine how quickly the apples will be trashed when wal-mart starts to sell macs. The ones on display will be kernal panicing, will probably be in very bad condition and giving the computers and the company a very bad name for what the haters do to the displays. And the employees don't care. So why should Apple?

@BRX0102 Sorry man, it's been a long time, but I am back and making videos again! I hope you come back and participate once again, miss talking to you!

Even though I am a good 4 hour drive from any Apple store, I've got mixed feelings about this move. It could be a great move, and the 599 mini could use a price cut, it used to be 499 with a dedicated Radeon card. They have a lot of options, but I also think it might hurt their image, being another cheap Walmart brand name. Walmart sort of inherited K Mart's 'Blue light special' image after all.

Well, If its even true, I'd say that it would be a good move. I know you like your niche community but ultimately Apple wants to sell more and isnt that what you want? Dont you want other people to discover a good OS? Walmart could ultimately become an ISP for this country if they wanted to, b/c there are so many. This would be good sales for Apple. I dont see any support being given, just sales. So no worries for your Apple store I bet. They will continue to be the 'support center'

Thanks for your take Todd. I work at Wal-Mart too, I work 3rd shift..it can be rough lol

Apple will not make sub products, even for Wal-Mart. It's not their ideaology. They stayed out of the Netbook craze because netbooks are junk. I think Apple's only logic is in the following question, "How good are the sales on Wal-Mart Flat Screen Televisions?"

Then Apple will see that consumers who don't mind spending $1k or $2k, then they are good candidates to buy quality Apple products that can play their movies and more. Strange move, this is, for Apple. But nothing is impossible.

[toddrecommends]

@droadtrip I agree, good points. I never want to walk into a Wal-mart and see an Apple computer!

[IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN]

apple needs to stay exclusive and keep the image and appeal. you buy macs from the apple store. end of. its not a cheap consumer company; there is no point in putting apple products in budget stores

[BRX0102]

You know you can buy mac's at best buys' and fry's.

But I do agree.

I just had to put that out there :)

Great Video Todd!

[toddrecommends]

Thanks!

[jackmitchell123]

Awesome! Great to see you back online, It's britishcolumbia, by the way.

[toddrecommends]

It feels good to be back, and I am trying to do at least 1 video per week for right now! That is my goal.

[roman13w]

i agree i think it is good for walmart to sell macs becouse i dont have a apple store but i have a bestbuy but it's not the best

[Clarencebobarence]

walmart would be so filled with kids wanting to play with macs that you wouldn't be able to move. Like when walmart started selling the iphone and all the kids wouldn't stop playing with the demo model. It would suck. Walmart is already so crammed with rude people.

[toddrecommends]

You raise a great point!

[fearfactory1189]

Agreed.
