The Apple Store has the refurbished 13" White MacBook with 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo processor for $749 with free shipping. Features a Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz, 2GB DDR2 800MHz, 120GB Hard Drive, Nvidia GeForce 9400M, and DVD+/-R Drive.
#2 I know what you mean...but at the same time, I am surprised by the number of product reviews I read where the reviewer ends up acknowledging that they own both PCs and Macs. Sounds like the kind of people who buy new machines every year--don't know how common that is--but it does defy the stereotype. Guess I admire an owner who's more interested in what a device does and how well it performs, rather than whether it's a status symbol.
Ehh, for the price, it's not a bad deal. Im torn between wanting to get the best deal for my money, and wanting to use osx. I enjoy osx far more than windows, but the hardware, even refurbished, is so expensive. I can get an asus laptop with more ram, processor, hard drive, and video card with a 2 year warranty and a 1 year theft/damage warranty for $50 more. choices choices, ahhh!
I don't care much about the status symbol because my notebook doesn't get used in public that much, and I'd likely put a decal on the lid to cover the apple logo anyways. I do like the mac build quality and OS. I've seen many ibooks, and power books that are 5-6 years old and still kicking strong.. so I guess warranty is moot if your device is reliable as hell. I should just buy this, use it for a few months, and if I don't like it, sell it on ebay for exactly what I paid.
Good deal. I've purchased a number of "refurbished" Apple products, and if they didn't come in a plain white box instead of the fancy retail packaging, you would never know the difference. Ben's subject line is wrong though, this is the 2.0GHz model, not the newly-released 2.13GHz update.
Actually a damn good deal. Apple quietly upgraded these to match most specs of the the unibody and even outperforms it with DDR2 ram. At the end of the day, use bootcamp and install Windows 7.
#8 I know, the juice always seems to run down my chin when I bite into one, and they are more expensive than other more tasty fruit. For my money, I'd rather have a Banana than an apple.
Seriously though, your opinion is not supported and there are much better comments which support their points. Your comment was short and pointless. But I guess that's one way to get to 5484 posts.
great deal if there is one more mouse button.
Let the I HATE Macs rants begin...

Macbooks are not expensive... its just that apple don't want to sell cheap notebooks... mac is better than vista....

apples are a pain to mess with, they are over priced and not worth it.
