Purchase 1TB Macbook Pro In Store?

Question

Purchase 1TB Macbook Pro In Store?

Probably the wrong sub-forum, but I'm kinda lost. If this is the wrong sub-forum, I apologize.

As a student with no credit card, just a debit card with a $500 daily limit and a Paypal account linked to his bank account(s), I tried buying a Macbook Pro with the 1TB hard drive, to find out that I cannot pay via Paypal. So, if I were to walk into an Apple Store with cash, would I be able to purchase the Macbook Pro with that 1TB hard drive? Would I end up walking out with one, point me to the online store or ship it to my place?

Thanks!

Hello KingCapitalSTEEZ and welcome to Apple Support Communities,

So this article says the Apple Store is accepting PayPal as of Dec. 2014:

Forgot to add that I am Canadian, so we don't have the Paypal option for some really stupid reason. Not sure why Canada doesn't have the Paypal option, seems like something that isn't that difficult to get working.

Well apparently we don't trust you Canadians ;D).

Can you buy it on time? Keep going to the cash station until you amass enough cash to buy what you want?

How much do you need BTW? Tax?

Are your parents onboard with this? Have them send you a cashier's check.

Getting the cash isn't a problem as I randomly have $4000 in cash sitting in a shoebox. The Retina Macbook Pro with the 750M + the 1TB hard drive is a bit less than $3000 CDN without tax, so that's probably around $3500 with tax. The problem is if I can even purchase it in store as I know 500GB is not enough hard space for what I plan to be doing and I believe they do not carry that "SKU/Model/Version" of the Retina Macbook Pro in store. As an extremely lazy Computer Science major, I try to minimize the amount of walking I have to do, so if I can't even purchase it at the Apple Store, I'll probably borrow a relatives credit card to purchase it.
