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!
