I wish you could order from the stupid Apple Store without paying tax. That's nearly $1350 for me after tax, I could get a brand new Rev D. for $150 more from an online retailer that doesn't charge tax. :\
Yes, it's a good deal. About 25% off the price of a comparable Rev D (except a little slower, but I doubt you'll notice that).sjshaw said:
In terms of getting your feet wet - what do you plan to do with it? Try using the iLife apps to make a movie or two, or to catalog your digital photos.

Thanks. I'm a basic power user. I could be doing anything from programming, to burning DVDs of shows recorded on my ReplayTV, to graphic design, etc. I just like to be up-to-date on all the new software and technologies associated with Apple.
Good deal you'll be very happy with it 
And if you get a second display at a later time your smile will be even bigger

Oh, yes, my friend.
Just got a Dell 2005FPW for $486.
Bought the same one...
... Yeah, It's a good deal. Just make sure you look at EVERYTHING...
Mine had a a screw missing and the F1 F2 buttons were out of order. I went to my local Apple Store and they fixed it, no problem. When you get refurbs from APPLE, they have a 90 day phone support/ 1 year Warranty. Take advantage of it.
Also, BUY APPLE CARE!
Mine is A-OK!

if you need a superdrive... its probably the best deal on an apple portable.

if only this deal was available on the UK site....roughly £750 for a 12" PB with SD....that'd make my current quandry over whether to go for an Ibook, 12" Rev c PB or 12" Rev D PB very easy
