New laptop arrived!!! - ssledoux - 05-23-2006 We bought a very gently used iBook off eBay. It still has 9 months of warranty left. My daughter paid $800 for it and it included a case, iSight camera still in box, and extra battery. The guy included the shipping as well. It looks like brand new. He did a fresh install of Tiger before sending and we got everything in the original boxes with the receipt included. It is really awesome, and she was so thrilled to get what she felt like was a really great deal. I can't even imagine what the MacBooks must be like because this is a really awesome little machine! It's running updates right now. The cool thing is; we turned it on and, from our house, it picked up the signal from our new wireless router (which we didn't think would go to our house because the outer walls of our school room are metal). So, it's sitting inside, connected to the net via satellite, automatically updating. I know all you longtime Mac users probably can't understand how thrilled we are over the simple things, but GOSH WE LOVE MACS!!! Re: New laptop arrived!!! - CJsNvrUrly - 05-23-2006 Leader!

Re: New laptop arrived!!! - Ken Sp. - 05-23-2006 L E A D E R Remember that you can still get AppleCare if you want since it is still on the original Warranty Re: New laptop arrived!!! - spearmint - 05-23-2006 ![]() Re: New laptop arrived!!! - graylocks - 05-23-2006 Congrats! try taking it outside to your porch or yard and surf! it's a brave new world . Re: New laptop arrived!!! - iaJim - 05-23-2006 Snow white, still smelling new LEADER! Re: New laptop arrived!!! - Gutenberg - 05-23-2006 You should get Apple Care since it is still under the original warranty. Apple Care is a good deal for laptops. On my G3 iBook it paid for a new hard drive and battery, and on my iBook G4 so far, a new keyboard. The free phone support also comes in handy occasionally. Re: New laptop arrived!!! - ssledoux - 05-23-2006 Yeah, we are thinking of that. How do you go about getting it? How long do you have to add it? Isn't it possible to add it up until the first warranty runs out? Re: New laptop arrived!!! - richorlin - 05-23-2006 Try to pick one up on eBay. You can save $100 or more. Just do a search... http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-AppleCare-for-iBook-M8852LL-A-3-year-Warranty_W0QQitemZ8816826678QQcategoryZ4602QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |
