How does it look, is it a good mac, what to look out for, is it worth the price, PLEASE TELL ME AS MUCH AS possible about macbooks :) I'm new to this, I would love to discuss about macbooks over msn with someone!

So if any one wants to add me
air_mc_roberts@hotmail.com

Thanks

dont get one.

seems decent, if it's in good shape and she gets it for $400 it'd be a good deal. $700 isn't too bad for a used mac, since macs are inherently over-priced. I don't mind the Mac OS, but I do mind paying premium fees for their hardware. My gf has a macbook, and has had one for 3 or so years, used all day every day, we've had to replace 3 power adapters for it.

My sister is spending 400 and I am spending 300 for that, but on IRC I got like raped when I even brought up the word MAC. :)

So it just comes down to me getting that MAC for 300

[Brain]

so wait? you and your sister have to share a macbook but she is paying the majority for it?

I wouldn't do the deal then. Unless she is GIVING you the 400 to help buy it, then take the money and run!

[Camaro']

She's giving me 400 to help me buy it FOR MY SELF :)

So you're saying I should get that macbook while spending 300. Everyone else said no

[i luffs yeww]

Where's this from?

[Brain]

$300 for a macbook.....hmmmm, tough. Does she have one you can mess around on for a few hours? I really prefer PC, but I can use a mac...Bobarkinator uses a mac I think.
It's a decent deal (for you), and if you want to piss off your sister you can re-sell it for a profit easy :p

That's really cruel, i WOULD NEVER do that.

But, her mac comes in the mail in a few days, I could play around with it to see how i like it. So your leaning towards a yes for me to get it?


It is from ebay, is that horrible? I mean he is selling it AS - IS but he has 100% reviews, and is 100% guarantee on it.

[Nava2]

A deal is a deal.

Thats not a bad laptop, but there are inherent limits with mac. If you plan to game, I don't suggest it.

I still believe that mac is an overpriced linux machine. But thats just me.
