Just wanted to say hello and thank you all for your posts, which I have been lurking for a few days, gathering information so that I could make a somewhat informed purchase!

And today I made the switch!

I ended up purchasing two MacBooks, one for my business/school and another for an employee. I decided to go with refurbished, since it seemed like it would be a good deal, hope I get some problem free and upgraded MacBooks… “Knock on wood”.

What I ordered: One white and the other black.

Refurbished MacBook 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
13.3-inch glossy widescreen display
1GB memory
120GB hard drive
8x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Built-in iSight camera

Anyways, I’ll be posting/searching here a lot since I’m extremely new to Mac OS X. Although my girlfriend is a Mac user! ;D

Congratulations on your purchase and the switch.
As a recent switcher I must say I am really pleased...although there are some hardware related issues on the Mac (like non-existent drivers for some accessories). But that's a small con regarding the hassle free workflow you get with OS X.

Thanks for the welcome!

I checked the status of my order, which I placed yesterday (8/1/07) before posting, and my items shipped today (the 2nd) and it says I should receive them by the 3rd! That's really fast!

From what I've seen a lot of refurbished MacBooks ship from the Sacramento CA area? Is this correct?

Welcome to the club - the waiting club, anyway. My MBP should be shipping next week. You MBs will probably arrive sooner than my computer will. :( haha well, enjoy your Macs!

Both Macbooks came in on time (the 3rd). Both work fine and look new, no blemishes or scratches. Apple is so 1337.
