Hi all!
Now I'm not sure if this is good or bad!
But from what I understand new Mac's have to be bought with everything you 
think you might need because you cannot upgrade them yourselves I might be 
wrong!
But as far as this one goes 4 and a half years old and only looked at by apple 
once [through my own mistake] nothing has gone wrong with it otherwise!
And only had to spend about 20bucks on new OS!
