I am looking at buying a MacBook new or last old gen with a fast processer and 120-200 gb HD. I am willing to spend a max of $1200 but I am 12 so that would liquidate my assets. If anyone has any ideas I'm new to buying computers.
 
I was looking at that, is that fast enough to run iTunes parallels transmission and safari at the same time (example)

Does it have trackpad flicks and double taps and options?
Click to expand...

No white MacBook has multi touch, but all Macs within the last 5 years have double tap for right click. And also tap to click. So just to be clear, no 3-4 finger gestures on the white MacBooks. For $1200, you can get one of the 13" MacBook Pro (aluminum, and has glass trackpad therefore multi touch and "trackpad flicks") or a refurb one with the glass trackpad if you really want multi touch trackpad gestures.
 
...FYI, there's a few threads about people not liking the multi touch gestures after they've used their uMB/uMBP's that have started to crop up...

The whitebook does do 2 finger scrolling and tap to click...
 
If you really want to save money, get used from eBay or Graiglist. As Eidorian said, every Mac in past 5 years can do iTunes and Safari. iTunes sucks in PCs, that's why I think you're suspicious. Even my friends gaming rig struggles with it.
