Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’m buying a Macbook Pro computer as a gift for someone, and I want to know what the pros and cons are for buying at a Mac Mall store, which I understand is not directly affiliated with Apple, vs. buying the same Macbook Pro at an Apple Store. Which is the better place to buy the computer, bearing in mind that I’m giving it to someone else and they’ll have to deal with any problems the computer develops.
The person I’m getting the computer for is essentially an “applications person,” he’s familiar with using PC’s that run Windows software, he’s a very smart person but he’s not really expert at computers in general and Apple computers in particular. He has an iPad and loves it, and his background is electrical engineering.
So where should I buy the Macbook Pro?

Ladies and gents,
hello im looking to make my first ever website (no previous experience) and if im honest ive no idea what type yet but im swaying towards making money with possibly affiliate advertising (i want to make money online with my page) what im looking for is a good reliable web host that is uk based with a uk call centre if i need help.
As i have no experience im struggling a little so what im looking for is a web host i want a website that is .co.uk for e.g (pedgers.co.uk) and i read somewhere that wordpress is excellent to use build a website so ive downloaded that already, i read that i need a mysql option to install this on my domain? or something like that,
so bearing in mind im a beginner any help or tips would be great
thank you very much
