I have 500dollars and im interested in buying a mac laptop

. but it seems 500 can only get me a crappy 30gig ibook. i know 500 isnt much, but what do you think i should be on the look for?

Macs are just plain expensive. $500 doesn't get you very far.... sorry dude.

Well if you had about a $1000 more you could get one.....take a look here Refurbished Mac - Apple Store (U.S.)
