It’s like $500. Not even. I know nothing about buying a Mac for myself
Yes.
No. It’s a tech item. Almost a decade old. $500 is too much.
To do what?
I am waiting for them to launch the new MacAir...
OP should probably eye an MBA. Even the current one sometimes sells for $700 brand new.
I’m not entirely sure the MacBook Air is bad, could someone elaborate on the pros? Is it much different in terms of functionality?
Nooooope. Buy a Thinkpad. Run Linux on it. Don't be a plebe.
Don't buy a thinkpad. They're not what they used to be. I've had two, and have had a series of issues with them - and when I look online it seems lots of people have the same issues.
I have a 2012 iMac that still runs great. 16G ram, 1TB fusion drive, graphics and CPU lacking a little but still works well for coding etc. If you’re doing video editing you should get a recent one.
My bad. Meant a MacBook
No.
Buying any tech product from 2010 is an extremely bad idea, if you are buying it just because its cheap i would suggest look at PC. For $500 you can get a pretty decent latest desktop. If you just want a mac then get a latest one, atleast 2015 onwards
Will do. I wanted to save the cash but I may as well just cop the 2018 MacBook Pro. Fuck it.
BestBuy usually has discounts on it and sometime student discounts as well. Student discount just needs a .edu email address. Does Google provide any Apple discounts? If so you can check that out as well.
I'd buy a 2010 or older MacPro (no book) case cuz it's darn bueatiful. Then mod it to house modern hardware.
Someone in my office was selling one for half that price recently so maybe look around.
