[QUOTE="Nicholi, post: 399022, member: 31541"] Young kid with a lot of hours logged in Windows here, looking to pick up laptop for college and i've managed to spot this deal at a local retailer : Black MacBook (Last Generation) 2.0ghz Core 2 Duo 120gb HDD 1gb RAM Intel 950GMA etc.. etc... $1199.99 Wondering if this is a good deal for a switcher to jump on, and how long the intel 950 chip will truly hold up with Apple wanting to go hog wild with Core Animation in Leopard. I've been a PC technician for 2 years now, and i'm pretty up to date on hardware and value... the Mac's are always higher priced (not going to say over, I havnt owned one) to there PC comparisons, can anyone give me a nudge one way or another? Last thing to keep in mind is my budget is $1500-2000, so any suggestions (Like waiting past WWDC) are welcome as well, the MacBook Pro's just barely grace my price range. [/QUOTE]
