Hello everyone,

My daughter is going to college soon and I want get her a used (Mid-2009) Macbook for $500 but she tells me it's too slow and asks for a Macbook Pro. She only uses her computer for Web, Music listening, iWork, and Light Photoshop work. What do you guys think? I think a Macbook should be enough for her.

Thanks

A 2009 Macbook will be plenty... Just get her a Macbook Unibody, swap out the glass with one from a Macbook Pro, and viola, you've successfully killed two birds with one stone =P.

Yeah I can run Lightroom on my 09 Macbook perfectly fine and I have just 2gb of ram. For what she's doing, a Macbook Pro would be a little overkill.
