I found one 1.83Ghz CoreDuo, 1GB, 60GB white MacBook on CL for $750. It's still covered in warranty and I can purchase apple care for it.

I looked in person last night and it's in excellent condition and everything works perfectly.

Is it a good deal for the price?

The owner couldn't find the reciept, will I have problem activating the apple care I'm gonna get from eBay?

Anything major I should be careful about that first gen. MacBook?

I've heard it runs fairly hot. so have anyone used CoolBook? Wondering whether it works well or not.

Thanks guys!
My first Mac:

15.2-inch Titanium G4 @ 1Ghz
1GB Ram
40 GB
64MB Video Ram

iPod Nano 4GB Black

$750 seems high... for $100 more you could have a refurb C2D.

I'd offer $600 and go $675 at most.
