[QUOTE="pirate pete, post: 458614, member: 21462"] 1. You answer this question later in the post. They are all 13 inch wide screens and about 9 or 10 inches in depth. The specs depend entirely on you - i bought the black macbook with 1gb ram, 2.16ghz cpu, 160gb hard drive. I then upgrade the ram as the first thing i did with some crucial 2gb sticks (because it is so much cheaper and quicker than getting apple to do it for you) 2. I would heavily recommed a case or sleeve to go with it, and definitely some external speakers (the built in speaker is good, but if you are using it for music or watching dvds, you need more audio response) 3. 2.16ghz White would be perfect for your needs, i spent the extra money and got a black one because of personal preference 4. If you are using it for school i would recommend buying iwork 08....the other apps that are pre-installed and come with ilife are fine for your personal needs - you shouldnt need to buy any other software 5. I'm extending the courtesy of posting these tid bits of advice because im in a good mood, i know a lot of members are not going to be so sympathetic to your needs. It is true what they say - everything you have just posted could have been answered with a search of the forums. Do not waste our time. And welcome to the forums ;). and yes there is a new version of Mac OSX coming out - due for release in october. i would recommend waiting until then to buy your macbook - explore it at [url]www.apple.com[/url] pete [/QUOTE]
