The white ones top case break really easily and for just a few more dollars you get a much better machine.

My Macbook's plastic case has not aged very well, and I don't take it many places. It seems some of the design places stress on certain areas around the edges which caused fractures in the plastic. Now I'm missing about 2mm of plastic in some spots

I'd definitely save up for an aluminum one.

Go refurb. I almost prefer refurb because they spend more 1-on-1 time with them and they bust them up to brand new. There are rarely scratches on the cases, etc...

In for buying the new ipod shuffle. Have you guys seen it? It's small as hell and holds 4 gigs. Clips right to your shirt/shorts, perfect for working out. Plus it has a voice function that can tell you what song is playing and even help you scroll through different playlists. Went to the apple store yesterday to buy one and the guys said they weren't in yet

i didn't even know there was a new shuffle until i went to the apple site yesterday. i like it a lot more than the 2nd gen.

just got back from the apple story. the macbook looks good. i'll hold out for a few days in case a deal comes up, but i'll likely be getting it soon. :x
