[QUOTE="Konda, post: 1809592, member: 401390"] Thanks all for the helpful advice. I must admit I would be slightly uneasy about taking a chance on a non Apple refurbed product. I am sure there are some genuinely decent companies out there, but from what I have looked at so far, for a little bit extra I could buy new. To be fair, the desktop still works perfectly well. Its just that more and more I have found certain things that for one reason or another I am unable to do. For example, some websites tell me that my browser is out of date and unsupported. Thunderbird wont work anymore, sometimes video clips wont play. I think also YouTube wont work. Non are huge problems but are a bit frustrating and spoil my enjoyment. The hard drive is almost fulll to maximum and has 12 years worth of family photographs stored there, plus music in iTunes. I have it all backed up through Time Machine on an external 500Gb drive. I would be nervous to clear them from the hard drive and have them solely on the external drive. I suppose I would have plenty room with another larger SSD installed. Decisions, decisions! [/QUOTE]
