[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1643710, member: 56379"] I think that this computer would get the job done. As Harry pointed out…it is a 2010 model. And although 8gig of ram is it's max…8gig of ram really isn't that bad.:) My question to you is…would the wife really want a 15" laptop computer? Most folks these days prefer to get something smaller & lighter…like a 13" MacBook Pro or 13" MacBook Air. I don't know what the timing is for this purchase. But since you're willing to go the used route via Craig's List…keep looking. Sometimes the exact deal you may be looking for…could be posted just 5 minutes from now!;) So keep looking.:) But…if this 15" MacBook Pro will do. I would try to get it for around $475-$500 ($600 is on the high side). - Nick [/QUOTE]
