[QUOTE="joe.morgan, post: 280249, member: 23213"] Thanks alot for your advice, this has cleared up alot of queries i had about Macs Im wanting to get a g5 or a mac book pro. haven't decided which yet as i might be travelling to America for 15 months on work experience (im from London,England) As as i cant afford to buy one new from the shop im going to have to get a 2nd hand one. Now as i haven't bought a Mac before i dont really know what to look out for. A few queries i have about buying a 2nd hand mac: 1. What should i look out for when i have am purchasing/have purchased the Mac? 2. How do i ensure that the machine i have purchased is functional? I mean, what happens if it is spoilt, what do i do? Do i return it to the seller? What if he/she refuses? What things can i check for to make sure its not spolit or duff? 3. How long has the new intel core duo been out? Is it worth the extra money purchasing the new intel core duos rather than say the old dual 2ghz systems I want to use my mac for: 1. Surfing the web 2. Music/Videos/Movies 3. Univerisity and business work - Photoshop/Flash/Site Creation/3ds Max/Video editing 4. Games I have been looking at a couple of second hands macs online: (sorry im not allowed to post a link, please delete if i have been naughty :D ) [url]http://www.gumtree.com/london/79/6586679.html[/url] [url]http://www.gumtree.com/london/93/6503193.html[/url] Thanks again Joe [/QUOTE]
