Do these really have a GeForce 320M? If so, in for one.

Edit: Something's not adding up here...those are the specs for a "new" Macbook off of Apple's website. However, the last time a Macbook came with a 80 GB drive was 2-3 years ago, which fits with it being "off lease." So I would expect these to be 2-3 years old and have either intel graphics or the older GeForce 9400. I'll pass, but this is a cheap way to get into a Mac for those who are interested.

It says 320M in the description, I don't think they'd lie. If tigerdirect has $500 12 months no interest like newegg does, I'd refuse the UL50VT I just ordered from newegg and get this, since I have a 320gb 2.5" and 4gb of ddr2
 
The picture also shows a white case which is at least 2 generations old these are not worth $500 clearly the video card is mislabeled.
 
This looks almost exactly like my dead Macbook from 2007 that used the GMA950. I believe the nvidia models have the multi-touch trackpad with no button.
 
These are definitely the older models... and they're crap. My GF has one, and it's broken so many times I lost count, not to mention the cheap/defective design (not unibody like the site suggests), where the plastic chips off and apple will tell you you're SOL unless you have applecare.

It might be worth $499 new, but these are clearly not. If you want one to mess around with OSX it might be worth it, but otherwise I'd stay away.
 
bad deal!

Word. I stopped looking at Tigerdirect refurbs, off lease, and the like, because they're essentially selling used gear that's typically obsolete, for $50-100 less than a new equivalent.
