47th Street is fine as long as you know *exactly* what you want.
Computer Era is an especially good place to shop, and even Computerland
is OK these days.  Avoid Computer Factory like the plague -- you'd be
better off buying your Mac off the back of someone's pickup truck.

In general, it's better to find a dealer you're comfortable with and
maybe pay a little more than to go for the absolute lowest price.
Although many high-priced dealerships are run by pinheads (of course,
some of the low-priced ones, like Computer Factory, are as well), many
of the smaller stores are staffed by professionals who, even though
they may not always know how to solve a problem, at least care that you
have one.
