Macbook Mid 2010 A1342

yay.

 

The 2010 MacBooks are solid little notebooks. My mother has one and has been using it as her daily machine since she purchased it in 2010, and she is still perfectly happy with it. I'd go for it! If you decide that you hate Macs, you can always sell it along or install Windows on it

 

Just remember you are buying a 6 old Mac. This is fine. But don't expect 2016 performance. Great entry to !ac though - why? Won't cost you hardly anything. If you don't like sell for similar price. If you purchase new or newer machine you would lose a lot more money.

 

There is a way to get continuity to work, but I haven't been able to get it to work. Other than that this really is a great machine, I still use mine on a daily basis.

 

I have a 2010 MacBook with just 2GB of memory and it is working fine. Running El Capitan on it. Not the fastest laptop around but it works fine for me.

 

My cousin has 2010 model and I have the 2010 MBA. Working great on Mavericks and can't really complain about performance because it still handles all Blizzard games.

 

+1

Given the OP's intended workload, this is a great, low risk, first Mac purchase just to see how they like it.
