For the OP... I doubt there'll be additional specials or upgrades from Apple itself. And I don't think Leopard is supposed to come out till 07, so that's another reason not to wait…

Oh, and if you have to ask "should I buy now, or wait?", you should always wait. No matter when you purchase, something better will always arrive within 6-12 months. My suggestio…

The per-clock difference in SpecInt between the Core Duo and Core Duo 2 is about 25% at the same clockspeed. It's significant, but not huge. The Core Duo 2 won't clock any faster t…

i think the best question is to "buy now or wait til Jan 07" i mean, that's when the recent rumor sites (based on wallstreet analysts) say that there is going to be a tablet or ult…

Ohhhh you make it sound so easy ;-)

Generally I wouldn't expect to see a refresh in the macbook line in August. The desktop line may be released, the MBP may get a speed bump but I think the MB will stay pat. If …

If you can wait, you should wait. Not to say that you will have the same experience, but I've gotten burned on two Rev A machines before (the original blue and white G3 had all …

This's a valid reason to buy ahead, if you must. Is this your first undergrad degree or master's? That's enough stress there than to worry about trying to get windows working…

Greetings, I bought a black MacBook at a Apple Store on Friday. How many days do you have to get a full refund if you return? Not sure if I am going to do this, but I need the c…

Check with the store!

I think you have 14 days... you will pay a restocking fee however. Its almost cheaper just to sell it on the forums.

15%? I thought it was 10% Edit: Also many of the apple stores I've dealt with waive the restocking fee in the name of customer service. If course your mileage will vary.

I'll bet you could sell it to some owners of WhiteBook - with Yellow Palm rests!! HAHAHAHAHA Sorry. Could not resist.

10% or 15 it is still pretty disappointing apple would charge that if you return it in the same packaging with everything included. I wanted to get mine at best buy just for that …

Mm... seems like this is different for the store you're ordering in. In Apple Store Holland, you can return it in 10 working days and get all your many back without the need for an…

Just for information, Apple Store UK gives you 14 days to send it back. But they charge either £30 or £60 for the transportation involved. http://store.apple.com/Catalog/uk/Im..…
