Love that model though. I was going to get on myself a long time ago. Does yours have an SSD upgrade yet?
Welcome to the Apple fam.
I have many apples darth, just not intel ones
I'm thinking about swapping the drive with an SSD, it's a sata drive in there after all and 120gb is $20 at best buy which is crazy.
as far as the power adapter, I did tons of research first, I even made sure to get the T shaped connector instead of the L shaped one, as well as getting the exact same voltage, wattage, etc as the broken power adapter that came with it.
the only condition for getting the computer was that I wipe the drive, and I plan to do just that before installing the latest OSX it'll support and going from there.
