Sup Guys,
A friend of mine want to buy a Mac, but cant afford a new one. I told her to look on ebay, but since she dosnt know much about technology i told her id look. I found several offers, all i was looking at were the non unibody macbook pros, as thats all she needs. I came round one, pretty old (15.4" 1.83Ghz C2D, 2Gb Ram, 80gb HDD) its in real good condition, only thing is its being sold as broken: It says it ges full screen crashes every couple minutes which requires a force restart. Sounds like a Kernal Panic to me. As much as i know this is most likely the RAM. I could get it really cheap, i guess 150-200 euros. Ram would be max 50.
Is it worth it?? fully functioning MBP's are 400-700, better specs though.
if i can get it that cheap, its a good deal, as long as i can get it working obviously.
some insight if i could get it working just by adding new ram would be great.
heres the link if it is of interest, its in german though (german ebay)
