| Chapindad, I am guessing by your name that your talking about the Smith recommended systems. The Macbook as configured with the extras (1gig memory, ipod, carrying case, etc.) is a really good deal. A major additional advantage to the Macbook beyond those described here is that Smith requires loading of anti-virus software on windows based systems that it does not require on apple based systems. Students with windows systems complain that these required programs significantly slow their computers. Also if you fax your order in now for purchase on Saturday, you will save the 5% MA state sales tax (8/12-13 is tax free day). |
