What, did that MacBook “fall off a truck”, or something?

@Ryan,

They do have an electronics section. They sell video games, dvds, music, televisions and now notebooks.

The section started out small, but now its pretty damn big. It’s probably the same size as Bill’s H-E-B Pantry.

So do they have a whole section of electronics? Maybe they buy from closeouts or stores going out of business or whatever and sell the few items they can get. I doubt a grocery store is an authorized Apple reseller

H-E-B stores actually vary in quality quite a bit depending on their location, age, and demographic. Many of the newer stores are in newer suburbs, and are indeed quite nice stores.

Luckily they killed an H-E-B Pantry store in my neighborhood in inner Houston, which was utterly horrendous, with narrow aisles, old produce, and riddled with low-quality generics.
