[QUOTE="ryanwarsaw, post: 417603, member: 24018"] Well if you plan to use it for the next 4 years then get the mid range whitebook. I am not sure how you use a computer but for me the super drive is a good incentive to choose the mid range model. As money seems to be an issue for you use it with the stock 1 Gig Ram. Upgrade it yourself later and change HD when ever you want. People always say get 2 Gig RAM but I found Macs run very quick on 1 Gig under Tiger at least. I wonder what people did way back in the day when we were running MB CD with 512? 4 years is a long time and if you won't be able to afford to replace it if it gets damaged I would suggest that you get a laptop bag that has adequate protection. I would maybe also consider investing in the iSkin keyboard protector as many a Mac have had a shortened life due to spills. I think that covers all of the bases of what I would be looking for in a machine in your budget. [/QUOTE]
