Just got my first mac!


Recommended Posts

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:

    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Capcom had a surprise waiting for Dragon's Dogma fans today in the Nintendo Direct presentation. The company revealed an expansion for the second installment with a name that should be familiar to series veterans. Coming later this year, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is promising a massive new region to explore, new monsters, fresh skills to learn, and more. The studio says players will be heading to the Northern region of the world, named Norgan, to find new secrets about an undying "Fallen Dragon." There will be forgotten relics that the protagonist can find to unlock fresh weapons and skills the expansion is introducing. Players will also be able to find mysterious equipment from a previous Arisen as a part of the expansion, all part of 12 Lost Rites Dungeon Challenges they must complete to gain access. In Neowin's own review, I found Dragon's Dogma 2 to be an impressive RPG when it launched back in 2024, giving the title an 8.5/10 for its class variants, companion system, and immersive exploration. "Once a prosperous region of the kingdom of Vermund, it was abandoned many years ago for reasons unknown," says Capcom about the new region. "Long has it been since any soul traveled its paths. Blanketed in heavy snow, these frigid lands are home to savage hordes and creatures of unbelievable power. Those who are capable of vanquishing such fearsome foes, or those who possess a keen eye for exploration, will find themselves rewarded with powerful relics." Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion launches on October 9, 2026, with a $29.99 price tag. Ahead of the expansion release, Capcom is also planning to release two free updates to the base game. The first will land tomorrow, June 10, bringing more accessible fast travel with an Eternal Ferrystone and other quality-of-life adjustments. The second update will land sometime in August, aiming to improve frame rates, add more save slots, and bring even more community-requested adjustments. This expanded Dark Arisen edition is also launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day the content comes to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
    • Classic themes are just the colors on the bar like the olden days, if you use the image themes, it does fancy transparent backgrounds and it makes the elements of the app look like they are transparent bubbles. This sample image shows what it looks like.  
    • Good point, unfortunately. NextDNS has far more filters and workarounds than uBlock, and it's easy to implement.
