Pulled the trigger! (MacBook 2.2GHz!)

[anonymouse1]

After all these months, I just ordered a refurb 2.2Ghz MacBook from Apple!

(crossing fingers for silent upgrade.....)

I've been looking at that same MacBook at Amazon, but I just can't make myself pull the trigger, yet.

rgG, I'm in the same boat. My solution is to think of other things (like a new guitar) that I'd rather buy.

I hear you. I have a 4 year old G4 iBook that I keep thinking of replacing, but I am just not sure that I need to. I use it mainly for couch surfing and travel (infrequently) so my demands on it are not high. My daughter would like to take the iBook as her own, if I get a Macbook, but I just can't make up my mind. I really wanted a sub-notebook to be introduced instead of the Air, then I would have been all over that. Now I need to decide if I should wait and hope for a sub or just get a MacBook. Decisions, decisions.

That Amazon price is really tempting though, with free shipping and no tax and compared to the mid-level price of the new ones...

how much? how much tax?

Macbook 2.2GHz $1,095 after rebate $1069 from Amazon -- NEW, no tax to many states, free shipping

Well, I expected no tax, but they're charging me anyway, it looks like--

$1,056.44 total

57.44 tax

I don't like rebates, so this is probably better for me--and I'm going to spring for AppleCare anyway, so the "double your warranty via your credit card" doesn't really affect me.

And I'm still hoping for that silent upgrade.....

I bought an iPod touch instead.

apple charges tax to every state that has it

and the rebate at amazon is all electronic, done right after you buy it, super simple...

i've been hemming and delaying as well.. I have a g4/800 ibook with a broken touchpad.. i'd like to geta new macbook but....

I can use my office macbook for 705 of my needs

I'd like to see what the next generation offers

maybe a touch will take care of my needs

maybe I can get the touchpad fixed cheaply

...in short, I don't think i'm ready.
