[QUOTE="MilenkoD, post: 464332, member: 36349"] What I mean is that after I sold my old Windows laptops, that money + another $220 got me the open-box Macbook. If I buy from my co-worker's relative, it'll cost me about $300 on top of the $220 out-of-pocket..so $520 total. (Actually, more like $420 since I just bought 2GB on a 'killer deal at Buy.com for some DDR2). If I kept the open-box, I'd still have to eventually upgrade the HDD...but I could always use that as an external drive later or an Airdisk if I chose to buy an Airport base station. I can always "get" iLife '08 elsewhere buy would rather not. Really it comes down to the fact..is 120GB vs 80GB hard drive and 2.16Ghz vs 2.0Ghz really worth the extra $220? The open-box is a little scratched up..cosmetic only, but I would be getting a fresh new unit from Apple. [/QUOTE]
