Ok here is the deal, I already have a laptop, a HP
DV2410CA. I am fairly satisfied with it, the only thing is that it runs really hot and it is a bit of a pain to lug around sometimes since it is heavy.
I have for the past year been using a mac and to be frank, I quite like the OS, rest assured that if I get a mac, I will be dual booting it with either vista or xp (haven't decided yet). Anyway, I was looking into a macbook because it seems like it is easier to carry and since it uses a core2duo proc over an AMD Turion proc, it will be a lot cooler.
The thing is that I work for Staples and I found a macbook in our storage (we aren't really big sellers of mac products...) and it is now on clearance for $850 CAD.
The only thing being that it is the older generation macbook,
Click Here for specs (look at specs for the midrange white macbook), and right now there is a $100 off any clearance laptop event going on, and therefore including my employee discount and taxes (13% !) the price would come to $750 CAD.
So my question is, should I go with the macbook, or do you guys have any other suggestion on a laptop to buy that you think will suit my needs?
Just as a side note, if you are one of those that says that I shouldn't go with the macbook, perhaps you can give me a suggestion on what other laptop to buy then. The only requirement being that it is at staples, because they have a nice, no-interest, computer purchase plan. Essentially all the current models we sell are on the website at
Staples.ca (use postal code V3J7N8). Ofcourse the clearance stuff might not necessarily show up on there, so if you guys any key features I should be looking for in a laptop when buying it, then suggest away and I will take that into consideration too

Thanks for all your help in advance.
P.S. I really am looking for serious answers in this topic unlike other topics in which I don't mind as much, so if you feel the urge to give one liners or similar responses, don't do it in this thread
