Canton Computers is one of the bigger survivors out of all the local computer stores that popped up in the 1990s. They expanded and now have a new store in Livonia that even has a drive through window for those really in a hurry to get their laptop or PC repaired. Most computers can be repaired in two days. They offer discounts on trade-ins and are a good place to go if you just need a good used computer for a spare or for the kids.

Best Buy is great to go to for quick browsing and good weekly sales. Sometimes some models are priced less than you will find elsewhere. Also, layaway is now available at select locations. Check the website for details. Best Buy recently added a Mac Section of mainly MacBooks with a few peripherals available as well.
Apple Store
Twelve Oaks
27518 Novi Road
Novi, MI 48377
(734) 780-2471
www.apple.com
Apple has expanded their presence in Metro Detroit with 4 store locations. They have a good staff who can answer your questions. They can be super busy, but generally they aren't and you can easily get help. The one downside is there is not as much in the way of product and peripherals compared to a bigger computer store, because you are looking at mainly Apple products instead of comparing products from many companies. But if you're just in the market for a Mac, you probably don't care.
