How to Buy a MacBook

MacBooks, previously called iBooks, are Apple's answer to the need for a great general notebook computer. If you've decided on a Mac notebook rather than a PC, follow the steps to learn what to look for and how to buy a MacBook.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Speak with a trained Apple computer assistant about notebook computers. Go to the Apple website, call 1-800-MY-APPLE or walk into an Apple Store to find assistance in purchasing your MacBook.
2. Decide what color MacBook you want--the matte black or the classic shiny white. The black notebook costs more and is only available with a larger processor and hard drive.
3. Pick the desired processor, hard drive and memory. Choose from a 2.0GHz or 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo processor, up to 2GB memory and up to 200GB hard drive.
4. Choose between a 24x slot-loading DVD-rom/CDRW combo drive and a 8x slot-loading DVD+-R DL/DVD+-RW/CD-RW SuperDrive.
5. Consider the 13 inch glossy screen, 1.08 inch thickness, 5.2 lb. weight, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, built-in iSight web camera and wireless and Bluetooth capabilities when making your decision. The MacBook also comes standard with basic programs such as iLife.
6. Configure your MacBook with memory up to 2GB, hard drive up to 200GB, Apple USB modem, video capabilities, MagSafe Airline Adapter and pre-installed Apple software.
7. Purchase a MacBook and open the box to find, along with the computer, a 60W MagSafe Power Adapter, AC wall plug and power cord, lithium-polymer battery, Apple Remote, Install/Restore DVDs and printed and electronic documentation.
