[QUOTE="xj6jaguar1985, post: 747008, member: 60410"] Another vote for that. Look... Yes the new MacBooks look nice and shiny and bla bla bla bla bla...*rolls eyes* Just like new models of cars first produced, they have a whirlwind of defects as they have not been under the normal stress of everyday use. . Go with what has gotten you here already. The new MacBooks will have glitches, and I guarantee you it's going to be with that trackpad. As soon as I saw that stupid thing shown, I knew it was going to be nothing but a nightmare. Go ahead, spill something on it. I bet you my Jaguar it won't work again. I spilled water on my MacBook's trackpad and after a day of drying off, it worked fine. Your MacBook is reliable. You're better off just fixing that bad boy. A battery will cost you $80 Leopard comes with iLife, that costs $80 The cracking will be fixed soon with a recall. Regardless, it's cosmetic. The DVD drive is covered under applecare. $160 versus going through selling your macbook and getting a new one...so we'll say $800... I don't know dude, sounds pretty straightforward. [/QUOTE]
