I currently own an Alienware M11X and I'm looking to sell it to get a Mac. I've previously owned the 1st gen MacBook Air and had a 13" MacBook Pro before I bought the M11X so I'm no stranger to using OSX. I just miss it tbh.
Thing is, I'm not quite sure what my M11X would get me in equivalant Mac terms. I've an R3 model and was thinking of selling/swapping it on an Irish site called adverts.ie. I came across this model:
http://www.adverts.ie/other-apple-products/macbook-white-2010-model-sale-or-swap/1206121
t's a bit old but I really love the blend between the white model and the newer multi touch track pad and display. Since I used to own a unibody Pro and an Air, the experience shouldn't be too bad? How upgradeable is this model? Could I put in an SSD and upgrade the RAM?
I'm also thinking of just putting up my M11X on the site and stating that I'll be looking to swap for a Mac therefore leaving my options open. It would be interesting to see what people will offer. I've seen people offer ridiculous products with ridiculous specs for practically nothing just so they can get their hands on an item they're interested in. Any recommendations both on the MacBook in the link above and also what model I should and shouldn't get in terms of age?
I'll mostly be using it for web browsing, writing, etc etc ie light usage. There's just something really cool and retro about the unibody white model that I love.

The price of the MacBook has also gone down to 650 since it was first posted so it should be well with a swapping range for an M11X.
