Hi everyone, I'm new here. I was considering making a purchase of the Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook (http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/443824/APPLE-MB404B-A) but I am a little confused. The guy at Comet said that I would have to buy a Airport Base station in order for my wifi to work as it would not be able to connect to my router which is an 802.11b router (it's old but I'm not good with networking and a friend set mine up for me). Another guy from PC World said this was rubbish as the MacBook has backwards compatibility. Who is correct in this instance?
The other thing is, I was told by a colleague that MacBooks are notorious for wifi problems, and he showed me some posts on forums that were dated 2007, could these problems have been resolved by now? Last article I read said Apple was looking into this in 2007.
Suggestions or feedback would be very much appreciated as I am about to spend someone else's money on a MacBook for them.
Thank you.
Adam.
