Just got my first mac!

[Impact]

I have wanted a mac for the longest time and I just finally bought one off craigslist! It's a rev. D white macbook (refurbished), came with a mighty mouse, and it has the following specs:

-2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo

-2GB DDR2 RAM

-120GB Hard Drive

-Superdrive

-GMA x3100 Graphics

-Leopard 10.5.4 installed

I was so happy because I got it for only $750 including the original box, reinstall media, cleaning cloth, power adaptor, and a bluetooth mighty mouse! It's in pristine condition and I can't get over how much nicer it is than running Mac OS X on a PC. Everything literally "Just Works!"

PS: Sorry for the horrible image quality. The pic was taken on my phone!

Congratulations, enjoy your machine :)

congrats dude, be sure to check the osx apps list here on neowin and I have to recommend setting up screen corners, much faster then pressing F8(spaces)-9(expose - all windows)-11(desktop)-12(dashboard)

Enjoy it :)

Thanks so much guys. I had no idea how much I would love one of these machines. The refurbished ones literally do feel like they are brand new. I just can't believe the deal I got on it. I wouldn't have been able to afford a mac without it.

Congrads. Enjoy your new machine :D (Y)

you lucky dog you ! Congrats

I just tore down my linux box (giving up on the whole linux thing for a multitude of reasons)

So now I have this small space I need to occupy with....hmm.... A macbook Pro 15" ? :D

Im glad to see so many people giving apple a chance

I make my living off of pc(s), yet always had alot of respect for apple -

does Microsoft still own $300,000,000 of non-voting shares of apple ?

Welcome to the club :laugh:

[Impact]

I think Microsoft does own a lot of shares of apple lol. Then again, with how their stock price only seems to rise over time, Microsoft is not too bad off. I bought my 5 shares of Apple when it was at roughly $35 a share and look where it is now :laugh:

What a steal! Congrats on the purchase, and don't hesitate to ask for help :)

[Impact]

Thanks! Yeah, I was honestly surprised I was able to get one that cheap. I had been praying I would be able to get one before tuesday because I was getting my wisdom teeth pulled and really wanted to have my mac to mess around with for the 5 days I was gonna have to stay at home and recover lol.

[Knife Party]

congrats, im jealous :p

[mattmatik]

$750?! They must have just wanted to give it away. I think I would jump on that and then sell my 2.0Ghz Rev. C for $850 lol.

Sweet!

[RAID 0]

Congrats.....welcome to a better life

A better life? Pfffffff.

Congrats on the good deal, though. I would have picked that up for that price.

[Impact]

Yeah, Larry's comment is classic lol. This guy was selling it for $800 on craigslist (still a steal but I didn't have $800), so I offered him $750 and he said ok, and when he got there that night he was like "man, guys offered me even $850 for this" and I pretty much just said "thanks for still coming and selling it to me for $750!" I was probably the most excited I have been in a while right then :laugh:

[TEX4S]

Huzzah! ;)

[Damian]
