Used MacBook?

[Antibull]

Hey guys, 

 

I am searching for a laptop just to use the web and for netflix. I want a simple design and not bulky. I came across a Macbook 2009 for 200 euro, Is this worth the money ?

 

And is the Macbook 2007 worth 140 euro ? 

 

Edit just came across a 2010 macbook for 150 euro. Shall I buy it?

I dont know you could get maybe a better spec'd laptop at the same price

You don't have any option for Windows laptops?

Link? Depends on the specs.

If you really want it go for the 2k9 one the newer ones are always better

Well since I am only going to use the pc for web surfing and netflix I don't realy need a Windows pc, and in my price range they are realy big. 

 

And i realy like the apple design

 

Link? Depends on the specs.

 

The specs of the 2010 Macbook are: 

Macbook white serie 5.2

Intel core 2 duo @ 2.0 Ghz

3Gb Ram ddr2

Go for the 2010 one, my dad recently picked one up and it works well. Yosemite slowed it down ever so slightly, but made it look a lot better, so I'd say go for it. You can upgrade the memory if necessary as well, although if you can find a later model with DDR3 memory then that would be best.

For €150 that's not a bad laptop but I doubt it'll play full HD properly.

How do you mean. Like stuttering ? Cuz the main reason is to watch Netflix and since I can't chance quality on Netflix it would be a problem 

 

EDIt, you can turn hd off

Did some research and that cpu is faster than I thought, it will be fine. Also took a look on markplaats.nl and for €150 you aren't going to find anything faster, especially if you consider build quality and screen quality.

Ty for the help. Now the waiting games begins

Well I have found some macbooks with ddr3 they are slightly more expensive. Is it worth to give around 75/100 euro more to get ddr3 ? 

 

It is only 200mhz faster

Depends on the rest of the specs. Clockspeed doesn't say everything about performance, if it's a newer architecture the performance gains could be quite significant.

as far as macbooks go for the 2010 one that is a steal of a price.

Well I've found a 2008 macbook right now for 300 euro but it has 4Gb Ddr3, Intel core 2 duo and a 256gb ssd. Realy thinking of getting that one since i realy want a ssd in it.

Get the 2010 macbook and buy the SSD yourself for 90-100 euros: http://tweakers.net/categorie/674/solid-state-drives/producten/#filter:q1bKL0pJLXLLTM1JUbJSKi5ITc5My0xOLMnMz1PSgUgG5xeVAOUSi5PhIkBlnkD15kZmOkoFRZnJqb6ZeUpWBjpgA9wyc0pSi4qVrKqVjMwsjUF0LkhaycjEAAiAhuQmVgC5xgZgbm1tLQA
