[QUOTE="BoA, post: 345109, member: 14283"] I just bought a refurb. macbook (white, with the 80gb HD and 1gb ram) from the Apple Store online. This will make my third mac computer and tenth Apple Product. Do you think it will be good for my needs? I posted a thread about which I should get and I decided on the macbook because I had 1400$ spare and it fit in my budget (I didn't see any refurb mbp 15" today). I plan to dual boot XP on it using Boot Camp and install Oldblivion so I can run Oblivion (I have an x360 I just like using the mods on the computeR). Does anyone know if the crappy graphics card in the MB (no offense) will handle Morrowind, though? I'd really like to install that as it was my favorite game. What about GTA (3,4, or 5)? I don't game much and the MB will be used for Word, Surfing wirelessly during class (hehe), some real player, etc. I still have my iMac G5 for photoshop and such (For now, I might sell it). Do you think the MB can handle that well? In XP? In Rosetta? How long do you think the MB will last in year length? I also bought a case for it off of Amazon :D. [/QUOTE]
