    I was wondering if any users were unhappy with that particular MacBook or quite pleased with it? I was wondering if they would have preferred a different model? Is there features of that particular model that is frustrating or annoying.

    It's the only MB to have the Aluminum enclosure, though if she (your daughter) is going to need mobility, I would suggest a newer model as the battery will last longer. That model has advertised 5 hours if I remember correctly.

    Fantastic machine! It's my second MacBook and I like the aluminum much better than the polycarbs. I agree that an upgrade to 4GB would make it even better.

    I have one and I absolutely love it. I did a couple upgrades, but it still works very well stock, highly recommend it.

    Got one simular like yours. (2010 macbook pro refubished)

    2.4GHz
    4GB ram
    250GB HD
    320M graphics

    I would recomend getting refubished. Great price and almost completely new with apple care plan. Plus, I would recomend getting macbook pro like mine.
