This will be my first mac computer, what should I look for when I am going to pick it up before I buy it.

Make sure you get the disks that would normally come with a new MacBook...Disks 1 & 2

I am guessing its the last year model. It has 2.2 ghz, but i think her rounded up from 2.16, it has 2gb or ram and he says the warranty ends on novmeber 19th 2008. I am guessing that is the free year one. Should I get the extended warranty

I am not real sure if you can buy the additional 2 years of AppleCare...perhaps someone with more ApplCare knowledge can chime in...if it can be had ...do it

Mine is a 2.4 Ghz model 1 month old.. so 2.2 would be a recent model
