It does sound like you need a computer sooner for school, but you said you were just beginning to save, so it wasn't clear how ready you would be to buy something
now.

If you really need something NOW, then I have to agree with generik.

MacBook refurb waiting just one more week to see if anything happens in Paris.

It's gonna be around Jan '07 before I'd have the money to buy a MacBook :(
 
Well short of hitting up grandma for some of her life savings, I guess you don't have much choice.

My daughter is attending Va Tech with a 12" iBook and she's perfectlly content.
But she didn't have to pay for it.

If you have to work that hard for something, buy the best quality you can.
