- iBook G4 12" 1.33Ghz/512mb.....MacBook Air 13" i5/4GB/128GB SSD
I'm looking to replace my gf's aged and literally falling apart 5 year old Toshiba laptop with a new (well, gently used) MBP. We initially started looking at the new white unibody white MacBook but after seeing a few scratches on them from just being displayed in the store I've shyed away from that. With her education student discount we've calculated that the base 13" MBP with iWorks and tax will come to right at $1240.00. If I could get the same model with a few months use but in mint condition (plus some extras) for $1000.00 or less I'm inclined to go that route. Is this possible? Should I even consider the previous gen 2006/2007 non-unibody 15" MacBook Pros? I see them selling for 700-900 in good condition on Ebay.
A side note.... As she will more than likely keep this computer for a very long time, I'm not TOO worried about waiting for i3/i5 processors. At this point, the C2Duos are so far ahead of her 1.7Ghz Celeron and 512 of RAM that it's embarassing.
