Need advice about buying a white macbook - are they reliable enough?

Thanks...

Wow, thank you guys for the abundance of replies. So much more than I expected. I am still debating weather to go with the white macbook and max is out, or get a lower end unibody mb or even mbp. Currently I just finished my sophomore year in high school and so i am not sure if i should get a white macbook maxed out or get lower end unibody mb/mbp for the better build and better processors (and better gfx on the pro). Is the pro worth the $700 more for even for the refurbished? or should i just say stick with the mb though prob my fresh year of college? btw, if anyone is curious if this matters, i am planning on majoring in graphic arts and minoring in music...however its still up in the air since i have two more years of high school left. Thanks for everything guys...

Edit: Guess that might have been a bit unclear, i guess what i am trying to say is, would it be a better idea to go big now, and try to make the pro book last through most of college, or just go small and save a TON with the white book and just use it as a backup book/server through college?

It's purely a subjective call at this point. You should probably evaluate your need for more power versus the smaller footprint.
