this is true, but if something does go bad, its worth it...

when i wrecked my computer, apple said it would be $1200 to fix...
the certified repair place up here quoted me $600 (apple just assumed **** was broken). So basically, after buying applecare, i saved $350 on a huge repair...still well worth it imo. you could just take the risk and not get it, but i think it would be a bad decision, especially for college

They say that the black macbook is more "durable". Also I believe it has a faster processor.

The Big screened iMac's are sick though. A Big screen is convienent. 13" inches isn't that big.

you get the same processor as the white one (2.2GHz) as the black one. and the more durable issue seems like b.s. to me

according to the apple website there's nothing different between the black and white one besides paint.

whenever you get the mac download istat pro, it basically monitors everything that is going on with your computer internally. fans, cpu usage, internal & external temp, and GB usage of the harddrive.
