Рет қаралды 251,839
3 жыл бұрынDo you need experience to get a good deal shopping on eBay? Today we hope to find out as I've brought my roommate Elise back for another challenge! With just $300 each to spend, can we both find a usable MacBook?

Elise’s resemblance to my teenage daughter was striking in the first video, but her more casual style here makes it uncanny. That whole Insta pose was like looking 10 years into her future. One thing I haven’t seen discussed much in the budget Mac world is security. The Twitter hack and several major breaches through work and it’s feeling pretty relevant. Dark corners of the Internet are ramping up again and it’s unlikely these MacBooks will stay offline. From a security standpoint, the MBA has it. High Sierra loses security updates when Big Sur releases, unless Apple feels generous during the pandemic and decides to patch it a little longer for the good PR (I’m sure they know roughly how many machines stuck at HS are in use right now). But is Catalina even decent with 4GB, let alone Big Sur? I’m running High Sierra and it’s solid with 32GB RAM and a slow 7200 1TB drive but I have to replace this iMac 2011 in October or I won’t be able to connect to the work VPN by our security policy.

Sonny O'Hara It’s not ripping off my cousins wife. She set the price, I had $280 at the time... did you want me to say “actually, no - it’s worth about $800”. Would you really do that if the only thing that you had at the time was an early 2009 21.5” iMac? I never told her how much it was worth, she even did some research and came back with that number (though I have no idea how). Anyway, if Luke Miani does it to people on eBay and everyone calls it a steal, why is it different if it’s my cousins wife? Just because she’s related in law? That’s an arbitrary and meaningless thing.

Both pretty good deals. I bought a 2012 unibody a couple months ago and paid $480. I think the only way to pick a winner would be to ask what they're supposed to be used for. Just browsing the internet and simple stuff? The Air wins. But if you're wanting to do things where you need large storage, the unibody wins hands down.

IMO the 2010 MBP if you can get it for cheaper. Throw in the max RAM (I forget if it is 8 or 16 gigs for a 2010) and an SSD and you got the perfect "beater" computer for basic web browsing/word documents. You can also download patchers as well for Mojave and Catalina.
