Is this worth it

[LucasDerpYT]

If you read my last thread you will know that I am planning to move over to Mac for 1 laptops worth of time before it breaks then go back to Windows possibly

So the last one was to weigh the pros and cons

My budget is $160 including shipping.

Can you help me find a model that has Seirra?

define 1 laptops worth of time. Between the two of us it might mean two completely different numbers

Agreed, my first laptop lasted me five years, but I know people who upgrade every few months.

1 laptops worth of time might be 2 or 3 years. And upgrading every few months is retarded. What is 1 laptop worth of time to you?

Whenever someone in my family replaces theirs xD. I've been sponging off my family my entire life for old laptops and PCs. I only find it worth it to buy expensive PC parts and not laptops because of my limited use of them. Occasionally I'll get something off eBay for an experiment or something.

So your looking for a Mac Laptop which can run OS Sierra for $160?

 

So you have these choices:

 

MacBook and MacBook Retina: Late 2009 or newer.

MacBook Pro: Mid 2010 or newer.

MacBook Air: Late 2010 or newer.

 

By the looks the Late 2009 Macbook will be the only machine you'll be able to afford at $160.

Anyway, you are going to have to look for yourself for a used version thanks to the community guidelines. I recommend looking searching 'macbook' on eBay, setting price limit to 160 and look at the 9th result. (watch as I still get in trouble for that) your results might be different tho idk. If you can't find anything newer than a 2008 version, just get a windows laptop imo.

True, upgrading every few months is retarded. My laptop "life" is probably as long as it does what it needs to, so far that has been 5 years (then I upgraded).

It's $130 including having to buy a power adapter for it
