Macbook woes

[Jasonbot]

My stepbrother is getting a macbook tomorrow and I'm off to help for "quality control" Basically to help buy and what-not.

Basically we need a sure fire test to make sure it runs perfectly and that there will be no kinks in future. I was thinking of doing the RSS test in unix to max out the processors for some reason.. Any other ideas?

Also, his mom's on a tight budget so he's probably goanna get base. Is there any way to convice her to buy him the second model? She's not a technologically inclined person so all she sees is the exact same computer, only more expensive.

Thanks in future for all your input and please hurry, time is of the essence

That's basically true. I can only say recommend the mid-level white if he needs to burn DVD's. Else there is not that big a difference.

base config is fine, but you'll want to get the ram up to 1 gb
