We have several Apple stores in Panama. They’re called MacStores and all of them look gorgeous. Apple has a way with industrial design and all their products reflect this manifest characteristic.
From computers to smartphones, Apple products are known for being stylish, powerful and pleasing to use. They are edited products that cut through complexity, by consciously leaving things out—not cramming every feature that came into an engineer’s head, an affliction known as “featuritis” that burdens so many technology products.
Even their retail stores carry this unique design style. A perfect example is Apple’s retail store in downtown New York City. This iconic outlet opened its doors on May 19, 2006 at 767 Fifth Avenue. The store in itself is all underground, except for the entrance, a 32-foot glass cube right in front of the General Motors building opposite the Plaza Hotel and Bergdorf Goodman. This glass cube is a must-visit landmark in the Big Apple.
I found an Apple store at a recent visit to Metro Plaza, and it also had a faint resemblance to Apple’s store in New York. Beautiful transparent glass everywhere and an awesome black-and-white sign. Absolutely Beautiful.
Below are several pictures of this ubiquitous consumer electronic store with a logo you can’t miss. Here we go.

Great products, according to Mr. Jobs, are triumphs of “taste.” And taste, he explains, is a byproduct of study, observation and being steeped in the culture of the past and present, of “trying to expose yourself to the best things humans have done and then bring those things into what you are doing.” There’s no doubt, there is taste in Apple’s retail stores as well. Good Day.
I wish their pricing took a minimalist approach

Hi Anne:
Yes you can use an iPad in David, as well as the rest of the country. There are WiFi connections spread out throughout the country where you can connect to the Internet.
The cost of the Internet depends on the speed you want. For example, I pay $29.95 to Cable & Wireless for a 1.5 MB broadband speed connection. If you want a slower speed, the minimum price is $28.00 for 1 MB.
Best Regards,

Hello Shelby:
I would suggest you take a look at Panafoto or Apple Store on the Internet and find the model you are looking for. I’m sorry, but I don’t work for Apple or any of their dealers. I’m just an Apple fan who likes to write about Apple’s products now and then.
Please click the following links to get the information you are looking for on a Mac Book Pro:
1. Panafoto: http://www.panafoto.com/es/cat/prods/93
2. Mac Store: http://www.macstore.com.pa/hardware/macbookpro.php
You can translate Mac Store’s information to English using Google Translate which is an excellent translation tool
Good luck on your research,
Omar.-

Hi Linin:
There are four Apple Stores in Panama City. These are their following telephones numbers and extensions:
1. Mac Store San Francisco: 305-5750 Ext. 203
2. Mac Store Albrook Mall: 305-5750 Ext. 261
3. Mac Store Multiplaza Pacific: 305-5750 Ext. 251
I suggest you call either one of these stores and ask what you are looking for. If they have it in stock you can take a cab to make the purchase. All of them are in Panama City. They should help you in the English language.
BTW, their Web site is: http://www.macstore.com.pa/
Best of luck,
Omar.-
