Mine was the first with thunderbolt. 8,1. It is core i5 and shipped with 10.6 discs. Evertek had some 2009 Macbooks for $ 235 and $ 265 thursday. tempting but no spare $... Since I have access to Apple's tech support library, I checked and found that the machine originally shipped

It is really no different if you buy a dell, etc. The restore discs are specific to that hardware. What Curt said. There is no downgrade path. Point of reference for the Mac folks out there: I bought a Late 2008 MacBook from someone this week. They wanted to wipe it before they sent it to

Not for HP. They shipped a disk with the basic Windoze OS on it and a second one with the froo-froo garbage they wanted you to load. They might have done it at one time, or now, but 4-6 years ago they were pretty generic. I know because I'm a former HP certified tech, and I've got stacks of
