Hello Vince, The scope if your question is too broad for anyone to give you a comprehensive answer, in my opinion.
There are just too many variables to take into account without knowing the specific needs of the individual. Your post is somewhat confusing; the subject line reads "used MBP" yet in your message you write that you are going to get a new MBP. Perhaps I'm misreading something but ... Generally speaking, I do not recommend that anyone who is not an advanced user purchase a used computer. However, be it used or not, purchase the most advanced/modern computer you can comfortably afford. Processor speed not withstanding, make sure the unit has at least 4MB of RAM with no less than 200GB capacity hard drive. Good Luck, Mark -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vince Mistretta Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2011 7:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Looking for used MBP I'm in the market for a new notebook for productivity and was thinking of getting a MBP with enough memory and power to run Fusion/W7HP. Since there's so many models out there, how far should I look in the earlier models (all Intel based of course)? Ideally an I5 model would be great but I know that's out of my range now. Something with a max of 8GB ram and minum of 320GB hd in a 15" screen would be fine. Did they stop integrating numeric keypads (FN+) on recent models? If so, which model year did that start? Any help appreciated. -- Vince Mistretta My Tech / Programming mailbox -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
