Hi guys,
I just bought an early 2008 iMac off the classifieds because I really wanted an iMac, but this was the only one I could afford (I'm on a university student budget) at the moment. I figured, since it's an Apple machine, it'll last for a **** of a lot longer - I would never have bought a 7 year old Windows machine.
I want this machine to last at least two, maybe up to five, years, so I want your opinion: is it worth spending the money and getting more RAM and an SSD upgrade?
What's your opinion on using machines if Apple doesn't release software updates for OS X anymore? I'm pretty computer savvy so I know what not to download and how to keep myself safe online, generally.
But I thought I'd get advice from more seasoned Mac users.
Cheers
