[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1774087, member: 56379"] Well...a 2013 model will certainly be better than a 2010 model.:) And if you purchase a 2013 Apple computer...it will most certainly have no warranty remaining. If having a warranty is important to you...then you either have to purchase a new Apple computer...a refurbished Apple computer...or a used Apple computer with warranty remaining (but how much is left could be important too). But this also depends on your budget. If the budget is modest...maybe a 2013 computer is all that is purchasable at the moment. Well...now you're part of the majority.:) Most users don't relish the idea of spending a lot of $$$$ on a used or new computer!;) Sorry...when you said above: [I]"Is it worth it to buy another Macbook? I have heard from many people say they become obsolete due to all the updates in order for apple to force you into buying a new $1000-$3000 Laptop every 5 years or so? Is this true? And if so, is it worth it to even buy a refurbished older Macbook?" [/I] To me this sounds like someone doubting the idea of purchasing any newer Apple computer. Thus why I mentioned that you would be faced with these sort of issues with any computer (Apple or Windows)...Macbook or other model. It's kind of a moot point. You gotta do what ya gotta do. You NEED a computer.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
