[QUOTE="MilenkoD, post: 464224, member: 36349"] Recently purchased my first Mac ever...Macbook 2Ghz, 1GB, 80GB w/ superdrive. It was intended to be an experiment to see if I liked the Mac, so I went to the Big Box store and picked up an open-box unit to return without a re-stocking fee if the Mac was not for me. So far I love it and it's a keeper...sort of... I ended up selling 3 old Windows laptops to 'fund' my Macbook, since I didn't need the 'old dogs anymore....so I'm into this open-box Macbook for net $220 out-of-pocket...not bad. After my purchase, I found out that a co-worker of mine has a relative who works at Apple and can purchase a new Macbook for me at discount. So basically, I can get a 2.16, 2GB, 120GB w/ superdrive for a net $300 more (or less if I buy the memory elsewhere and upgrade myself). I assume that the new Macbook comes with either iLife '08 or the $10 upgrade voucher...so there's a bit more added value there too. I've got until Friday to make a decision before I exceed Big-Box's return policy time-frame. What to do....upgrade or keep what I got? [/QUOTE]
