Need a MacBook

[lanceh5]

Our daughter in law is taking classes to become a registered nurse and she needs a lap top. I am looking at this refurb from the apple store. Has anyone used this particular model?

Lots of people have used that particular model. What exactly is your question?

 

[lanceh5]

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.

Get 4GB ram

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.
