Yesterday a buddy of mine and I were talking about computers, when the question came up about the difference between a PC and an Apple. He stated he was getting tired of having to keep updated all of the software necessary to keep a PC protected and was thinking about trying something different. So I surfed on over to Apple’s site to see what they had available and stumbled upon a MacBook which was refurbished and on sale for $799 with free shipping. After taking a look at the specifications, it met his basic needs for email, web surfing and some minor word processing.

The system which is on sale comes with the following:

13.3-inch glossy widescreen display
512MB memory
60GB hard drive
Combo drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW)
Built-in iSight camera

Long story short, my friend ordered one. I’m looking forward to seeing how well it works for him. He just bought a new house and we will be setting up a wireless broadband connection once he gets moved in.

Comments welcome.

PS Hurry. These refurbs go fast!
