[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1274747, member: 56379"] What I suggested was...if you eventually want to run the latest Macintosh OS (Lion)...you would be best off making sure you buy a Mac with at least a Core 2 duo processor. Depends which OS version the computer you eventually purchase is running. And depends if you have an install disk of iLife '06 to install iMovie '06. Craig's List or e-Bay. Are you sure you want to install OS 10.5 leopard? If so...an install disk will cost you close to $100. The bottom line is...you need to decide whether you are going to buy a used MacBook or an iPad. If you decide to buy a used MacBook...the specifications & OS installed on that specific computer will then dictate what specific questions to ask. Most of the questions you asked so far are hypothetical. If you find a "real-life" used MacBook with OS 10.5 "Leopard" & iMovie '06 already installed on it...then that would sound like the perfect situation for you. If you find a used MacBook without these things installed...then we can start talking about specific questions...not hypothetical. - Nick [/QUOTE]
