Lazyweb Request: Computer Shop In NYC?

A recent justifiable rant by Mary Gardiner on the price of laptops in Australia (with subsequent clarification post, too) has reminded me that I've been thinking about upgrading whilst I'm over in the USA at the end of this month.
The second week of my trip is when I'm most likely to have some spare time to do some shopping and during that week I'm going to be in New York City. So, my question...
Is there any place in New York City (or nearby) that is the computer equivalent of what B&H is for cameras?
If I was in California, I'd go to a Fry's, but I'm not. So what are my alternatives? Sure, walking up and down fifth avenue looking in all the slightly suspect places along there is possible. But it'd be great if there was a one-stop place I could go to that wasn't going to rip me off and where I could see (and preferably hold) the machine before paying out a thousand-plus dollars.
