[QUOTE="callum828, post: 1305085, member: 217022"] Hey guys So here's the deal. I have a macbook that I got in 2009, 150GB, running Leopard. However recently I've been hearing ticking noises from the hard drive, which google tells me means my hard drive is about to die. The battery is also not nearly as good as it used to be, although that isn't a huge issue for me. So, obviously I have a fairly old macbook, and the logical thing would be to buy a new one. However, I am a starving student with no money. I've backed everything up from my HD, so I could buy and replace the hard drive myself (and maybe the battery) for far less than buying a new macbook. Basically, is this the right decision? Or will my mac become obsolete so soon that it's just worth hoping my HD lasts until I can afford a new macbook (Christmas, basically) [/QUOTE]
