- IMac 20" pre-camera! Pre-Intell and still running strong!!!
Newbie to this forum and Mac's in general really. I made the switch to Mac about 2 years ago when I purchased an Imac. BEST thing I ever did!!!
Now then, I have a laptop (PC) that was mainly used for vacation and those times when the kids were on the IMAC. Kind of had it as a back up cause I thought that I'd need to bridge the gap between the mac world and pc - wrong! With my Daughter using the IMAC more and more for school, now going into the 9th grade... I figure that she'll be on it even more. Throw my Son into the mix (5th grade) and we need another machine. I'm looking at the MacBook Pro and looking for a desktop replacement as well as something that will be mobile, thus a 17 seems to be something that would fit the bill. I've found something here locally that seems respectable. I need to know:
1. What you guys think I should be paying for it.
2. What to look for in a used machine.
Here are the specs...
The MacBook Pro is said to be about a year old.
17"
Dual Core 2.16
120Gig HD
Wireless
BlueTooth
Super Drive DVD-RW
Back-lit key board
OS Tiger
Case seems to be in very good condition except a small bulge near the release button.
Has the Magnet power adapter along with all the original stuff including the box and all original paperwork and CD's (what ever they are).
Just curious as to your thoughts.
Thanks in advance.
