Hey there people.
I am looking for some advice.
A friend of mine has decided to sell his Late 2011 Macbook Pro 13.3 inch and his asking price is 500 euros (+ - )
I am on the market for a new laptop but my budget was around 1000 euros. So all new Macbooks with retina are out of the question. I was thinking of buying a MBA but they are pretty expensive as well.
The question now is, is it worth it to spend money on an old laptop? I already know that i would have to spend around 150 euros more to upgrade to an SSD and 8gb of ram (it currently has 4gb)
The thing that makes me wonder if it is worth buying is that the laptop is in an excellent condition. He bought it in 2012 and has barely used it. Even the battery hasn't had more than 50 cycles.
So we are talking about a 2011 Laptop for 650$ (lets make it easy and use bucks
).
Is it worth the hassle? Do they still perform well?
Thanks guys
