Is it worth of buying used MBP Unibody

1 pointsby kostareloover 11 years ago
From a developer&#x27;s point of view, is it worth at current to buy a used Macbook Pro Unibody(2009, 13&quot;, 256SSD, 8GB RAM)? I have never worked with Mac but i have really bored of Windows&#x2F;Linux, because i can&#x27;t really make any work out of them, plus that the majority of the developers out there works with them.<p>What you think?

I had a brand new 2009 MBP around the time of its release in order to work on some software for several weeks.<p>If you intend to play games or do very CPU intensive things, you may be disappointed. If you&#x27;re doing typical developer tasks, you&#x27;ll be fine. Big compiles will probably be slow, but outside of that, I don&#x27;t see any problems.<p>The 2009 17&quot; MBP, outside of the crippled keyboard was the best laptop experience I&#x27;ve had.

I still do a lot of decent work on a non-unibody MBP from 2008, so I think a 2009 model would still have some utility, but I would consider the price carefully - it might be more worth it to buy a newer MB air or something, knowing you&#x27;ll get a few more years out of it.
