MacBook Air

[Mike69]

Friend of mine bought a new MacBook Air, 128GB, 13" screen about 3 months ago from Best Buy on her credit card. She has no use for it know and asked if I wanted it. She owes $700 on it. I could use a newer laptop to replace my old outdated Windows one so I'm thinking of taking it off her hands. Would you guys pay $700 for a used one? It's in excellent condition with no scratches or anything.

Yes.

I wouldn't, but I'm not an Apple guy...so probably not a good person to comment either.

I got jackie a macbook air, its a great laptop and awesome for being in apples environment. Doing snapshot backups are easy, and it integrates seamlessly with her phone. Unless you have a specific use case or other apple products, it might not be worth it for you. On the flipside, I got my macbook pro a little after i got my first iphone and it is probably what motivated me more to get additional apple products.

I have a iPhone 6 Plus. Only apple product I own. Surfing the web, paying bills, keeping my music and pics will be the main things I do with it.

I'll change my vote then...all things considered, it may be a good fit for you. They are sleek and nice looking machines. Also looks like you'd be saving a couple hundred bucks, and helping out a friend....bonus.

The MacBook Air is a dated laptop, it doesn't even have a retina display. I personally would spend an extra $200 and get a MacBook Pro. A far better computer for the money.

You're going to spend twice as much for a pro that is very similar in specs besides the Retina display. The air screen is fine for most things, just not the latest/greatest as far as resolution. It's a nice machine for $700.

How good of a picture do you really need on a 13" laptop?

OP has an Iphone 6 plus so he knows how good a retina display looks and how you would NOT want to use a non-retina Iphone like a 3gs or older because the screen sucks.

My BIL has an Ipad 2 and I have an Ipad Air 2. His screen looks terrible compared to mine.
