Right now I have the option to buy a late 2009 27'' iMac (newer design) in pristine condition, comes will all boxes, and receipt. There is no more apple care, it has a 3.06 dual core processor, 1 TB HDD, 4 GB RAM. Everything sounded like the basic configuration from what I remember. The guy said it runs and looks great, and obviously I would test it before I fork over the $750.
The reason I am in the market for a new iMac is because my older MacBook Pro is essentially bricked now, and I don't have nearly the money for the new iMac. I found I never moved my Macbook Pro, so that's why I'm going for the larger screen, as it will just sit on my desk. My limit is pretty much $750 (in reality $0, but I can't live without a computer...), and I personally feel it is a decent deal based on what I've seen on eBay (~$800+ for comparable models), but wanted to see what you guys think. Want to make sure the 2009 model didn't have major flaws, etc, and just if it's worth buying a computer that old in general (ie. will it be bricked within a year?)
Appreciate the advice!
