    Hey, first time Mac buyer here. I just wanted to run this MBP past the forum and see if it'll be a decent buy. I fell in love with my friends Macbook and the OS X, but I wanted the pro so i could do some light gaming in college (simcity, Age of Empires). I found this deal at macmall. I take it this MBP is not Santa Rosa, so will i have any problems upgrading to Leopard when the time comes? Thanks for your help!

    Leopard will have no problem installing on any Mac that's not 3 years old. All the Intels and the last PowerPC Macs will run Leopard fine. So don't worry about that.

    That is a really nice price for that MBP. Its brand new/unused, isn't it? Its a good buy.
