    How much did you pay for it? Was the refurbished one a good deal?

    $1049 was a good deal, especially for a Blackbook! Congratulations on your purchase!

    I ordered the same-speced refurb black macbook on Monday. Even after having done a lot of research, I'm still in doubt over my purchase and torn between the macbook, Dell's D630, and the Lenovo T61. The macbook just feels cheap, and a bit expensive (relative to the other two laptops), although the refurb price was a good price and that's what sealed the deal for me.

    And apple screwed up the shipping as well. When making the purchase, it said it'll ship in 2-5 days and arrive in 6-8 days or something. I called them the next day. It had shipped immediately and actually arrived at destination yesterday. But I'm in a different city right now and the thing is just sitting in my room, perhaps waiting to be stolen! Had I known it shipped so fast, I would've sent it to where I'm staying right now...

    Congrats on your purchase. The apple notebooks are made to pretty high quality. You should be pretty happy espeicially considering the deal you got on the black one. I cant believe Apple puts such a large premium for the black one. Whats next? Redbooks?
