Hi! I'm totally new to Mac, and I have a question.
First of all, I tried ordering the 999.99 MacBook from Best Buy and there are completely out, and so are all of the stores around my city, and I can't see traveling hundreds of miles for a computer in the winter, ya know? And they won't ship this certain one for some reason.
Anyways, I went to eBay and bought this kind:
Item Specifics - Apple Laptops
Condition: Used Processor Type: --
Product Family: MacBook Processor Speed (per Core): 1.8 GHz
Screen Size: 13 inch Processor Configuration: --
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4, Tiger Memory (RAM): --
Primary Drive: CD-RW/DVD Combo Hard Drive Capacity: 2 GB
Now, my question is.. My cousin has a new MacBook for college (mine isn't for schooling just yet, I'm a photographer/graphics geek), and she said hers has Leopard on it, which apparently is the new software. Well before I even thought to ask the question, I was the winning bidder (impluse bid?? maybe lol), so I see it's running on Tiger. Now, how slow is this going to be? Here's their description:
For Sale Here is a: Macbook(White) 1.83gHZ 2GB Memory 13" Screen Built-in Web Camera Bluetooth Wireless Extra Software I am selling my computer because I would like to get a Desktop instead. The computer is in EXCELLENT shape. I got it like 9 months ago. I never left my desk once. There are o dents or scratches. No dead pixels. I have never had any issues with it. It's runs very fast and had many cool features. There are some exra features included on the laptop such as some exrta software. I will restore computer to original state so it's cleaned out. Included is the charger, computer and case. Shipping and Handling will be $25 and that's the cost of shipping and the cost of materials used to ship. I ship my items well to ensure safe delivery. Item will be shipped within 3 days of auction ending and payment received. Please do not bid if you don't plan to buy. I took some pictures of the computer and the "About this Mac" screen and some other screens that displayed information about the computer. If you have any other questions or would like more photos, please feel free to ask and I will send more photos to any e-mail address. Thank you and Have a Happy New Year
Basically, am I getting a really old laptop, or is it still pretty 'up to date' with the current Mac additions?
Lesson learned: Ask seller a question before hitting "place bid".
