Ha, and I thought my machine was getting a little old

2007 or so macbook (black one, not the white ones that get all dirty) with 2.16ghz processor, 4gb of RAM and 160gb hdd. Only gripe I have with it is the graphics card is no good for games (gma950).
And that 160gb is getting too small. Need to buy myself a 500 gb drive. Or even a 640.

Steam and all Valve games (Half-Life, Portal, L4D, Team Fortress series) are now available on Mac, BTW. Or will be in April.

White Macbook, 2.2 GHz. Though I do echo that sentiment, it's frustrating how easily it becomes dirty.. whenever I do clean it, I'm shocked that it used to be so white.

Thank Christ.

Don't they charge more just for the different colour?

Very true actually. Same spec machine in white cost like $100-150 less than the black one. But I got mine from the refurbished ones, saved like $300, so worked out still costing less than a new white one :) And it still had the warranty and everything too.

Good old Apple and their dirty pricing tricks. But yeah I got a refurbished iPod classic a year or so ago and have never had a problem with it, saved a fair bit as well and it obviously still came with the warranty since I bought it at the Apple store online... Probably wouldn't buy another Apple product brand new after this if possible, not that I really intend to any time soon anyway though.

I'm using a white Macbook from last gen but with the dual core Intel CPU's and running Snow Leopard. My iMac at home is a 20" also running Snow Leopard on the dual core Intel. I really like them and even better yet, MS released a remote desktop app so I can connect to my secure Windows PC without having to get out of bed :)

EDIT: Both Macs are pretty much stock standard specs except I fitted 2gb of ram to the Macbook. 2gb is definitely a must because it makes everything so damn smooth/fast!

2009 17 inch MacBook Pro (aluminum unibody), 4 gig ram (I'm guessing you know the other specs).
Ooooold iMac (will update post later).

Other than computers, I've got an iPhone 3GS and a 3rd gen nano.

I don't get it, is he challenging me to pistols at dawn at the end there?

That makes no sense...

And Blastus puts him right in his place XD. Macs are very decent computers, performance wise etc. If he can't see that, he's a lost cause.

Edit: Change the rules of your duel to shotguns at five paces.
