A couple MILES with all that? There is no way I'm doing that.
This is what I wonder about buying a Mac Pro at a Apple Store. They're all in malls down here. They should send a couple of Apple Ninjas to help you take it to the car and take care of any trouble that might happen upon you.![]()
If for some reason you can't handle it, I'm sure an employee would help you to your car.
I would ask my dad for help but he doesn't approve of buying a second computer when it isn't needed.![]()
45-lbs?
Think of a 45-lb weight in the gym... In cardboard-box form. It's nothing.
Planning on buying a 27 inch imac this Monday and was wondering if I should bring a friend along to help me carry the thing out to my car.It's probably like a 5 minute walk from the store to the parking lot of the mall.
If Apple are going to be selling bigger and bigger screens and heavier computers, maybe they should look into putting small wheels on the boxes (TM, R, C, Patent Pending).
I was referring to a 45lb plate.45lbs may not be that heavy (to some people), but it's also the size and shape of the box and the small handle that makes it more awkward than say a barbell which has a nice long pole in the middle to easily fit both hands.
Love the idea! Start a company that makes it and Apple will acquire you for $300 million.
Couldn't see that costing Apple more than 5 bucks to put wheels on the boxes. On a $2,000 computer, 5 bucks is very marginal I'd imagine. Hell, raise the price by $5. No one will care. It'd generate a lot of attention to. What other box has wheels on it. Everyone in the mall would be looking at you and your Mac as you wheel it through the mall.![]()
Problem: Shipping crates, warehouses, etc.
Make the wheels designed to pop-out upon removing some kind of a spacer upon arriving at their destination (i.e. Apple Store).

Its not too bad at all, hardest part is getting it out of the box, its a little clunky due to the size, but once its on the desk, man o man, its a thing of beauty.
Brilliant. Which could expand to other large boxes.. Televisions, computers, etc.

The real question, will it fit in a Miata with the top closed? (assuming its open to put it in the Miata)
The real question is whether the Miata can fit in the empty space inside the 27" iMac's box, then you can carry both home at once.![]()
do you reckon it'll be possible to bike with the box a couple o miles?
For instance place it on the rear rack with a hand on the box handle and a hand the handlebar for steering/braking etc? Would I take up an entire lane doing that?
Lol not sure, but what if it fell off the bike? Carrying a computer in a box on your bike could be a bit dangerous....
