Hi guys
I have quite bit of experience in Windows based systems but never had a Macbook/iMac before and I thought it is time
I would like to buy a cheap Macbook around £150, even if its broken I can fix it, and use it as note taking laptop/youtube/recipe laptop
There are 2 models that are fitting in my price range and availability
Macbook 2008 4,2 Black, 2.3Ghz 2GB DDR2 Ram( I will upgrade it to 4GB or 6GB),x3100 gpu and screen discolourization. I have read that it is just the matter of reseating the monitor cable
This is £150
second is a Macbook 2008 unibody, so 2.0 GHz, 2 GB ddr3 RAM, 9400m GPU and no problems, although it is £200.
I would leaning more towards the 4,2, as it is cheaper and I just want to try the Mac out, although I am a bit worried about the GPU. is it good enough for general usage?
Which one should I choose?
Have you heard something about the repairibility of the display?
