If you go to the Apple Store there is a link
called something like refurb. They give a
discount and I've been looking into it, comes
with warranty etc. The £700 Macbook is often
less than £600. The specs are up to date and if
anything is missing it doesn't seem to be important.

Hi Will,
Now you have given me something of a dilemma.
I don't own a Mac yet, but would like to do
so. Originally, I was thinking of getting a Mac
Book, but didn't have the nerve to spend £700 on
something that I may not even like. So, I
decided that I would buy a Mac mini later in the
year. However, a Mac Mini with wireless
keyboard would cost around the same as your second hand Mac Book.
One thing I need to do is visit PC World and
listen to Voice Over via the built in speakers
on a Mac Mini and a Mac Book to see which sounds
the best. I Don't want to use external speakers if I can help it.
Have you heard Voice Over on a Mac Mini? If so,
how does it compare with the sound of the Mac Book?
Also, what is the battery life on your Mac Book.
Best wishes.
Ian

Subject: macbook for sale
hi all on the macvisionaries discussion list,
I am fortunate now to be able to buy a
Macbook with more hard disk capacity for
internal storage and the ability in built for
dvd writing, so i am going to part wiht this existing Macbook that i own.
it has
1.83 core 2 duo processor
2 gigabytes of sd ram upgraded originally from 512
sixty gigabyte hard drive
The Macbook has a cd writier, dvd reader drive,
known as a combo drive built in, wireless, bluetooth etc.
The package includes the macbook itself, the
power adaptor the install dvds. it is not going
to be in the original box as do not have this to hand but wou.d package it well
I am hoping to obtain the new machine for usage
either this, or next week so only when i ahve
it would i accept payment and then and send the old one, off
the machine is in excellent condition even
though it is around sixteen months old.
it would come wiped clean i.e. the operating
system wleopard 10.5 with all applied updates,
would be installed afresh with only
the components the user wants on the install which they could tell me.
I would set up the home folder including
passwords etc. and any programs they wished
like skype etc. even setting their account
up cfor skype and msn including setting up
their relevant accounts for these programs,
could all be done from my end before posting
the achine off t the relevant party.
I am asking only 460 british pounds including the postage costs to the UK
So if you know anyone who perhaps wants a
Macbook but who doesn't need the newest
technology, who wants a backup machine, or who
simply can't afford a newer product, here is your chance
the product is best to go to UK buyers owing to shipping costs etc
please, anyone let me know if at all interested
many thanks for your time
will
