Ok, so finally, I am typing this on my new Macbook!
I LOVE it so far. Took it out of the box and it looked just like new (it was a refurb). Immediatly I installed 10.49 and all the updates it suggested.
Next I uninstalled word, garageband, some idea organizing thing, imoviehd and thats it so far. I have 62.89 GB free of 80GB on my hard drive. The 1GB memory isnt slowing me down in the least.
I am AMAZED at how quiet the Macbook is, not a peep out of it. The isight has suprisingly good image quality. The only thing I noticed is that when i put in dvd, its a little noisy, although I hear this is normal.
I plan to run delocalizer and get rid of the languages I dont need, install main menu, install open office, install adium, get some widgets, and hopefully some more things if any of you have reccomendations =)
I dont mind safari, but I much prefer firefox. Also, I noticed there it no "maxamize", I can make the window big, but I can still see the dock at the bottom. Is that as big as it gets? Can I remove safari from the dock so I dont have to look at it? Also, what programs do you guys reccomend that I uninstall?
Anyone thinking of buying a refurb, I'd be all for it, this thing is georgeous, looks brand new. Thanks for reading and I look foward to everyone's responses!
