Ok so I've got an iPhone 8+ and an Apple Watch series 3, which I love. I've always been a Windows kinda guy though so both my laptop and PC are running Windows 10. A lot of the guys at work own Macbook Pros though and they keep bugging me to pick one up. Found one on Gumtree (our version of Craigslist) since I don't wanna pay full whack for a new one, and I hoped someone might be able to advise me on if it's a good deal:
Macbook Pro Retina 15"
i7 2.3GHz
16gb RAM
256 SSD
Currently running Mountain Lion (I guess he hasn't updated since he bought it new)
Model number is A1398, which I pitch at late 2013 (could be wrong though)
A couple of cosmetic marks (rubber feet missing - can these be replaced? Ding on the outer shell)
Screen and keyboard are apparently immaculate, comes with charger but no box I think
He was asking for £580, but I got him to agree on £560.
So yeah. Is this a good deal? Is it a hassle to update from ML to High Sierra? Is Bootcamp still the best way to go as far as sticking Windows 10 on the Macbook? If I can dual boot the Macbook then I can ditch the Windows laptop and make some of the money back.
Also, what are some essential accessories? I'm a total Macbook noob if you can't tell
Thanks in advance
