[QUOTE="Iatros55, post: 1610761, member: 213303"] I would go with a newer model Apple, even a used newer model. There are good reasons for this. Here are two. There are only two kinds of computer users: 1) those who have experienced a hard drive failure, and 2) those who have yet to do so. Murphy's Law and corollaries state that this will happen at the worst possible time, and that you probably did not back up sufficiently. The older the HDD, the more likely the failure. Moore's Law anticipates that any machine 8 years old is very outdated, and will be unsupported. Such a machine will have outdated memory schema, data paths, and storage. Let's face it. Our machines do not last. [/QUOTE]
