Yay. I have an iMac CoreDuo. Somehow I’m seeing more and more that I should have waited juuuuuust a few more months and I would have gotten something more powerful. BUT I don’t have any problems with what I got. I love this computer.

ahhh I’m so excited! Thanks otis – when you say magnet lid do you mean there’s no button to open it like there is on my “old” PowerBook? I mean i can tell the latch is magnetic on this but you still gotta press a button – do you mean there’s no button, you just open the display by moving it up?

I want Apple updates to the Mac Mini (and of course the iPod…) I want to build my Home Theater with a Mac Mini but refuse to buy one until they upgrade it to the Core 2 Duo. Any guesses as to when we will see this?

to answer ur questions
1. a white one can be upgraded to the same specs as black for 50 less – basically u pay 50$ for a black one. Ive seen both in person, and the white one is just beautiful (im on it now )

2, You got me, im on a core duo, mine is week 29 ,and im told that at 30 they tend to be problem free, mine as sligh discoleration, nothing serious but i kinda hope it gets worse so i can score a C2D some how – so basicaly, i wouldnt worry about it

3. ya it would be plenty fast, you could not only handle it but run aero too

but get a macbook, its a great price too for all that u get, camera, magnet lid and power, large trackpad, and a bunch of other stuff. andits Rev 2 so should be problem free, but no promises. Even with a few issues its still the best computer ive ever owned and if u get one u wont regret it.

I’ve really been thinking about getting a MacBook this past month and with the Core2Duo bump I think I’m going to. I do have a few questions for anyone that feels like answering them:

1 – Is the only difference between the black or white that you have to get a 120GB hard drive minimum with the black?

2 – Are there still problems with discoloration revision 2 MacBooks?

3 – In your opinion, would a MacBook (Core2Duo 2GHz) with 2GB RAM be fast enough for Vista?

Thanks in advance to anyone who answers :)

I think the Macbook Pro core 2 duo’s are also a safe bet. I owned a Macbook Pro (first version introduced) that was discontinued after 1 month and then it was in the Specials section for 500 less than i paid for it. but still satisfied dispite it running very hot, i had no other issues.

Anyways, that is now gone and we recently purchased a Macbook Pro 15″ Core 2 Duo 2.33ghz and i am experiencing zero problems whatsoever so far. And now that it has te Core 2 Duo chip, i dont forsee an upgrade for atleast 6 months, so its a safe bet.
