A white macbook for sale - $600 comes with:

2ghz intel core 2 duo
2gb ram (upgrade from original)
80gb hard drive (upgrade to a 320gb for $50 more)
wifi, bluetooth, 3+ hour battery life (for real, can get more than 5 without wifi on), power cable.
BRAND NEW KEYBOARD AND TRACKPAD. This was just replaced by apple under warranty (due to manufacturing defect), so the keyboard and trackpad are brand new, have no wear, nothing ever spilled on them.

Has been a trusty laptop for school for the past couple years for me. Am leaving the country and need to sell. Is in good shape, no screen scratches or dead pixels. Some slight wear on outside, nothing major. Never dropped and no broken parts. Working perfect. Will come with a brand new install of snow leopard (newest mac OS - 10.6) no matter what hard drive is chosen along with iLife 2009.
Everything flies on this laptop and I am sad to see it go!

Thoughts? Good buy? I told him I wanted the other hard drive thrown in for the $600.
The question, though, with a $600 used laptop, is how long would it take you to save up another $400 (or use a credit card) and get a brand new 13” Macbook, 10 hour battery life, big hard drive, and a warranty to boot.

$300 was reasonable, $600 for a used machine is quite a bit in my opinion, Mac or not.
