| Need guidance finding a macbook for cheap |
| By lifeundthescope - 11-28-2011, 04:29 AM - Boxden > Tech Questions and Answers Whattup, my brother and I computer both has broken down, they are some 2003 Emachines, so we need to upgrade. We both want macbooks, but financial reasons are a issue. How can we help our parents find a affordable macbook online? Where can we find the best deals? anything will do in order to get a macbook at a lesser place. All advice will be appreciated. |

| option a) buy another computer (you can get windows laptops for a few hundred bucks) a2)osx86 option b) ebay/craigslist/apple's refurbished program whatever youre doing on a macbook you can do on a PC though, so dont really see the need for a macbook, unless theres something I'm missing | |

| [pic] then get a job so you can buy a mac btw - theres no discernible difference between a mac and a pc except prettier icons, unless your doing high end graphic design and video/audio editing, and even then, you wouldnt get a laptop... | |

I guarentee people are hiring, this is the busiest season of the year, you could get a job somewhere, come on... Also, I'm sure the video editing you doing wont be intense, else you shouldnt get a lowend macbook (one in your range), and probably should aim for a desktop anyways... food for thought... | ||

| The low end macbooks might not be able to handle everything your trying to edit... you could build a nice desktop for under a 1,000 if you dont feel comfortable doing that there are some places that can build them for you... but you said you didnt want another windows desktop | |
