The partnership between Best Buy and Apple seems to be strengthening, with at least one analyst noting that MacBooks, MacBook Pro, and iMac systems have appeared in select stores. If a new strategy, it would mark Apple's largest retail expansion outside of its company-owned stores in several years.

Best Buy had already been selling the Mac Mini since April of last year. Before that, Macs had not made an appearance in the nation's largest retailer since 2003, when the previous deal was terminated. Best Buy has been selling the ubiquitous iPod music player for several years.
