Title says all, i'm looking for cheap yet fast set, not sure what should i go for, Macbook black seems nicem but how about MBA ?
i don't want a set that makes hate mac because of slowness though![]()
any recommendation ?
-
I'd choose a 13" Unibody Macbook or Macbook Pro. The 9400 should beat out the X3100 on the older Macbooks/MBAs quite nicely, but a refurb can be gotten for around $900 (with a 1 year warranty still).

If this is your first Mac, don't get an AIR, it's too limited and although it can be used as your main computer it's best used as a companion to your iMac or Macbook Pro. You'd be much better off with a 13" Macbook Pro or even the new unibody white Macbook. If price is a factor then check out the refurbs on Apple's website. http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac?mco=MTY0MjUwOTE

can't buy directly from apple.com as im located in kuwait, but ebay works for me
i'm thinking to spend few hundreds not few thousands, what would be my choices ? -
Any used Black or White polycarbonate, Intel MacBook will do you just fine.
-
Yeah, any Intel Macbook will do you good if you're just trying to get your feet wet. I gave my brother the 1.83 MBP last year as his first Mac, and he loves it. Still does fine for the minimalist tasks that he is doing.
-
One thing to add, I'd be cautious about the previous Core 2 non unibody MBP. The 8600M GT is just as susceptible to heat damage in the Mac world as it is in the Windows PC world.
-
The 13" unibody MBP would suit you just fine.
-
-
True. Unibody MacBook then - but I'd still be afraid buying one of those: it's plastic (glossy plastic) and I remember seeing quite a lot of those old "CrackBooks" around here. I hope the new unibody plastic enclosure is much sturdier now.
He can also buy an old unibody (aluminium) MB.
for the sake of learning curve which Mac i should get?
