[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1468819, member: 24160"] Personally, would not recommend buying a 5 yr old any kind of Mac for someone on a tight budget planning on using it as their primary computer for several more years. Not unless you found one with a price that is too good to be true - like "maybe" $250 or less - and you have turned it on, used it for awhile and verified it's all in great shape - and it has the original Snow Leopard (10.6) disk that came with it or has the Snow Leopard retail disk at a minimum. For the price of most 5 yr old Macs you can buy/build a brand new Windows desktop and have a machine that should be able to run current software for the next 5 years or so. [/QUOTE]
