I have one of the first Intel Macbooks. It's white and other than some discoloration on the case and a dead battery, it still works great. I upgraded the RAM to either 8GB or 16GB and it's a great little machine for what it does.
So, what do I do with it? E-bay shows that working ones go for about $200 and it looks like batteries cost about $100. I have a new late 2013 15" rMBP with 16GB RAM and Nvidia 750m, i5 Mac Mini with dGPU, and a Wintel box I built for gaming as my 3 main computers, so Im obviously in no real need of the computer itself.
My thoughts were to try and sell it and put the money in the vacation fund for me and the girlfriend. The other idea was to see if a buddy of mine whose family owns a tablet as their main computing device would buy it for $100 and take the money and buy them a battery. Other than that, I could always donate it somewhere, but Id prefer to give it to the previously mentioned friend before I do that.
Anyone have any ideas?
