An Apple buyer is paying $1000, if not $2000 for a machine and frankly no one is ready to spend that kind of money and have it be obsolete in 3, even 5 years. Heck, I'll even touch on a late 2008 13' Macbook running an SSD! As a background, I've spent the last couple of years (as a hobby) upgrading friend's MacBooks & Macbook Pros. While this thread is old, I've decided to comment on ANYONE considering a 2009 Macbook Pro, even a 2008 13' Aluminum Pro.

there's nothing quite so nice as being able to have three different pages of code shown side-by-side on a nice big 17' screen! рџ™‚ And, of course, if the only thing you would need a mobile machine for is checking e-mail and previewing web sites for clients, it would be more than adequate as-is. The only thing that might cause you a problem there is the 13' screen. However, if you work more on the coding end of things, there's nothing particularly demanding about that. The graphics capabilities of the 13' are nowhere near the power of the 15' or 17' machines of the same generation. If you're heavily into the graphic design end of things, and need to run the current versions of demanding graphic design apps, it may not be. The only question in my mind is, would the machine do what you need it to? That depends on what kind of web development you do.

Perhaps it is possible for a Windows expert to purchase just the right hardware and fine-tune the system just right to keep it going longer, but a Mac requires no expertise to keep it running for a very, very long time. they have all, every single one of them, become unusable within 3-5 years. Contrast this with every single Windows machine, from a variety of manufacturers, that my wife's small business has purchased. I've still got a 10 year old PowerBook G3 in perfect working order in a cabinet, and an 8 year old PowerBook G4 in frequent use. Macs are not 'time-limited' as ds store would seem to suggest. There's nothing wrong with buying a 2009 machine, and as has been pointed out that's a good deal. But for a working computer, used for actual work related tasks, you would be better off buying new. If this was just to fool around with and get use to OS X as an OS then I think it's not a bad price. 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.ДЄs 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.
