Anything interesting to do in Portland?

It's cheaper for me to get a round trip ticket to Portland than to pay the sales tax on a laptop I want, so I figure I can get myself a "free" trip, and just buy the laptop up there.

Is it worth going or should I just pay the tax and save some vacation days?

Wouldn't it be even cheaper to buy the laptop online from a retailer without a business location in your state, thus exempt from collecting sales tax?

No, not after student discount and free ipod, which don't apply if you don't buy directly from Apple.
