[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1683496, member: 56379"] That MacBook in the New Egg link is from 2009…and in my opinion…is not that bad of an option for doing what you want to do with it. As long as you keep things on the "light-side"…it would be ok. It is upgradeable to 8gig of ram & can run the latest Mac OS. And you could install an SSD into it (if you wanted to)…which would make it feel snappier. The only other thing I would advise is…definitely shop around for the best deal on it. Generally speaking…websites like New Egg and others need to make a profit…and so the prices on them are generally higher. I usually only shop Craig's List. Of course with Craig's List…what you want may not always be posted when you want it. Here's one for sale on eBay for $209 (much less than the New Egg price)…with free shipping. It could probably use a ram upgrade.
