I'm about to buy an early 2011 edition 13.3" MacBook Pro for $400 used and I was wondering if it is worth it at the price point and the fact that it's used.
Quick specs (from Apple's website):
- 2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with 3MB shared L3 cache
- Display: 1280 by 800 (native)
- Intel HD Graphics 3000
- 320GB or 500GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive
- Up to 7 hrs battery life on wireless web
I am considering this mainly because I needed a lighter laptop to carry around all day to classes (college kid) without needing to bring a charger every time I go out. I currently have a Lenovo Y510p and it's way too heavy to lug around all day and the ~3 hr battery life on max charge is pathetic.
What are your inputs?
