Hopefully I am posting this is the right place.
My imacG5 is on its last legs but I don't want to get a new one until they have some better processors (i5 - i7 as the default spec) and then I will get a 27" one. So in the interim I wanted to get a fairly cheap laptop which I could do a bit of work on (web design etc)/browse the internet in an attempt to prolong the life of my imac until it can be replaced.
So i am looking on the internet and I come across a Macbook Black 2.4ghz 4gb ram etc etc for £550 ($830). It is a year and a half old, and has a year and a halfs applecare left on it. Am i wrong to be tempted by this? I have to admit I was always taken by the black (I have never seen one up close to use though). Are they anything special?
Should I wait until after the new MacBook pros 13" are updated (i won't get in to this as there is already quite a big thread) and then jump on the inevitable firesale to get a second hand one. I am just not sure if I am being swayed by the price for the black (I have seen pros go for not loads more) as I think in most if not all ways the New Macbook pros are better than the Black Macbook (screen, keyboard, trackpad, weight, size etc etc).
Sorry this is a bit of a ramble but would appreciate peoples opinions
