again, a very good and accurate post.
also, you can get a refurbished macbook for MUCH less than a brand new one and you would never know that it was refurbished. I have one that i have been using a year now and have not noticed any difference. If you CAN wait until october when the new OS comes out, you don't have to worry about it taking 2 months to ship. it will ship immediately. so there would be no difference in ordering the mac and getting it in OCT. than keeping your order now and waiting till OCT.
also, if you do not want to wait and would rather get a refurbished or new on NOW, I believe that you can always upgrade your OS later. this is my understanding anyway...and this is what I plan on doing.

Also, please be aware that in October Apple (the Company responsible for anything Mac), is coming out with its next Operating System (called Leopard). This will be even more user-friendly than the current system.
A Mac just works, there is very little learning curve; it runs an extremely intuitive OS - very little it does not figure out on its "own" - from printers, to camera, to wireless network. PLUS - it just never crashes. In the 12 years I have been using one, I have NEVER lost any data. Not many PC users (and I am also one) can say that. |
