[QUOTE="mathogre, post: 400647, member: 25890"] For me it was a calculated risk to see if I could do everything I need to do computerwise on a Mac. My OS of choice was Linux, and my wife's is Windows. Various Linux distros had become annoying at best, and I discovered I was spending altogether too much time administering 3 dual boot home computers and not enough time using them. The MacBook represented an OS with the best of both worlds - GUI and Unix command line - as well as multimedia functionality that for all practical purposes is lacking in Linux. It also represented a viable entry level stand-alone machine. If it worked, great! If not, I wouldn't be happy but I also wouldn't be out a whole lot of money. Going with a refurb was the final deciding factor - money. It's been four months and the experience has been quite good so far, but it hasn't been perfect. [/QUOTE]
