[DM-MUG] possible to get intel mac laptop for under $500?

[Geoffrey Stevens]

Yes, I would agree with Victoria.
If you don't need alot of power go with a Mac Mini. 
By the way, I looked at your site: bearfruit. Very interesting and positive. If you need any help with graphics, feel free to contact me.
