1st boot / installation

hi,
I do know how to install windows xp / vista
also I'm familiair with pré-installed pc's / laptops with windows
but how does this go with a new macbook ??
I do already know that the initial username cannot be changed
but can the 1st boot / installation be completed, without having a working internet connection ??
I'm asking this, as I will be visiting the usa early october
the idea is, to come over without a laptop and buy a macbook in the usa
thnks
fred

Actually the initial username can be changed.

And yes, the 1st boot/installation of the OS can be done without a working internet connection.

Maybe he doesn't want his registration info sent to Apple.

I know that this may sound unusual for someone not to want their registration info sent to Apple...but I run into this issue sometimes when I purchase an older used Macintosh when I'm upgrading the OS.

In my case, I see no real benefit to me...to send my registration info to Apple for a 10 year-old computer I'm upgrading.

Of course the OP may have other reasons for their question,
