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!

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 ?

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:

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.

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:

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU

      I do trust Apple probably more than these other companies with certain data, but I also do think (and it has been demonstrated that) Apple pulls a lot of shenanigans and always has for a long time.
    • Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari It's that time of year when we get to know about the latest operating system updates for Apple devices. For iPhone, Apple previewed the iOS 27 update at WWDC 2026, where the company finally introduced an upgraded version of Siri. Apple typically supports iPhone models for up to five years. But it has been making exceptions in recent years (read iPhone 11). If you're wondering whether your iPhone is compatible with the iOS 27 update, here is the official list of devices: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17, iPhone 17e, iPhone Air iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16e iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone SE (3rd generation) So, you can download the iOS 27 developer beta on up to 31 different iPhone models. There has been no change to the list of supported iPhones since iOS 26. However, it will expand to include more devices when the iPhone 18 series arrives later this year. To download the developer beta on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Here, select "iOS 27 Developer Beta" from the list of choices to get the new update. In addition to iOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. iOS 27 comes with improved Liquid Glass, which you can adjust using a new transparency slider. Apple said during the keynote that iPhone apps now launch up to 30% faster, new photos appear in the Photos app up to 70% faster, and AirDrop transfers work up to 80% faster. The new update promises to improve performance on older iPhones by introducing a new CPU Scheduler that supports devices all the way back to the iPhone 11. While iOS 27 is supported on older iPhones, it goes without saying that they'll lack several features due to hardware differences. For instance, iPhone 14/14 Plus and older models come with a notch instead of the Dynamic Island. Similarly, Apple Intelligence features are supported on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and later models.

    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      By rseiler · Posted

      I don't know why someone said useless, but it does have that pesky kernel driver bundled, and it's in perennial turmoil. When it goes bad, it goes very bad, and it's impossible to predict when it will due to system differences. I know that they're in the middle of development for a major new version that will include a completely new driver, one that they expect will largely solve the problem, but that's a ways out and it's unproven at this point.
