SHOULD I BUY A 2006 MACBOOK PRO SOFTWARE

At least with a New computer, Apple or other, you will have at least the basic original included warranty with it. If you really need a notebook computer then I suggest you add about $600 to your current budget and look at getting a Win PC notebook. With a 3 year old notebook computer anything can go wrong with it at any time and with an Apple Mac since there is no more warranty on it they are expensive to fix. In any event 16GBs is way more expensive then 8GBs. Not sure if that system can have 16GBs of RAM installed, I don't thing it can (8GBs tops). It is on the bottom of the list of Macs that can run Lion and more then likely will not be able to run Mountain Lion, the new OS X version coming out something later this year. The model your friend is selling wasn't a bad computer when it was new, 3 years ago, but now it is 3 years old. But they cost a lot more money, for the exact same hardware.

Both are subject to hardware and software problems. From reading this and many other Mac forums they are no more or less reliable then any good Windows PC. Which has now ended and will get worse in the future.Īs far as the quality of the overall computer. The only thing Macs had going for them was there supposed immunity to viruses and malware.

I use both types of systems so I have a semi unbiased opinion ( I am a long time Windows user). Honestly there is nothing special about any Mac computer. More then likely a Windows PC, whether notebook or desktop.
