that I can purchase something suitable on his behalf.
happy for this to take place on the list but I feel inclined to reduce
the guessing game/make it more helpful by asking for some kind of lead
on the price you're expecting. Seen too many of these turn into guessing
games for everyone.
If you don't want to do so, that's fine but I ask that all discussion
take place offlist after this prompt.
It IS helpful to everyone to have it here as it could be a chance to
rehearse the merits/weaknesses of particular models (eg the 12" PB) in
the current Intel world. I'm also interested in anyone who knows posting
about where exactly clearance of old models takes place!
This goes generally for any discussions of second-hand Macs for the list
in future.
I'll throw my 2 cents in and say that an older laptop fitted with a SSD
drive (64 gigs at crucial is less than 120 quid) is an operational match
for an entry-level one now (apart from the reduced capacity on the hard
drive, which might not matter anyway if someone doesn't store films
etc). Changing hard drives on older machines varies from really
difficult to very easy.
