You said that this is an alright laptop for 'light video work' So, does that mean that any kind of youtube video making is out of the picture? I generally make vlogs and sometimes music videos, and short films. If I would do them in HD, would that be pushing this computer's limits?
I have the late 2006 one (the first with a core 2 duo). I like it, even though I probably wont get the next OS. Mine has taken quite the beating. The palmrest has more cracked spaces at the front than not. I also need to replace my fan :P
concerning the splinter on your MacBooks palm rest its a known fault. If you take it along to Apple they may replace it as they have done with mine 3 times
I have the same MacBook and had the same problem with the keyboard. Apple have actually identified these editions of Macs as having faulty casing. They are happy to replace the keyboard free of charge even if your Apple Care package has ran out.
Hey man, do you know how much this cost when you bought it? I have the exact same model of macbook and I need to know how much it cost but I don't have the original reciept anywhere. Cheers
Ooo... I have one of those in perfect condition!!! I've installed two 129gb OCZ SSD into the case (removed the optical drive), upgraded to 4Gb RAM and it's been on for the past 6mths, 24/7 in 'clamshell mode'. It's only purpose is to host webpages, running under Ubuntu 11.04. And you know what? It's completely faultless, awesome machine, perfectly quiet!!
Apple replaces the broken cases of these MacBook models for free even if they are out of warranty, cause it's known for breaking that easily. At least here in Germany :>
Nice, Great job! my iMac just passed 1 year. I formated my hard drive about 2 weeks ago, and just reinstalled OSX, my computer is so much faster now. I love it :)
@SqeakyGoldfish when I was typing the first two comments in the YouTube app, I kept accidentally hitting the Send button. That's why you have three comments from the same user, LOL.
@SqeakyGoldfish After a while, I got a Netbook with Windows on it, and it's horrible to use compared to my Mac. Yesterday, I got an iPad and it's not perfect, because when I was typing thenfir
