Hey all,
I was wondering whether or not to upgrade to the aforementioned MBP. At the moment, the lousy Windows laptop I have is quite slow, and I've always wanted a Mac. I don't do any particularly intensive stuff, but I run a couple things at once (Chrome, Word '10, iTunes). I'd be buying the computer from a great friend of mine, and the only thing that's wrong with it is that a stick of RAM went dead (upgrading to 4 GB, 8 if possible, please let me know). I'm not sure as of yet what he's wanting for it, but I'll update that when I know. The only thing I would play on it would be some beta games and Minecraft. I'd also run a VM once in a while. So, any advice? Wait until my laptop dies, then convince Dad (I'm 15) to pitch in with a couple hundred bucks and go for a newer one, jump at it, or what?
Thanks for all the input!
