Want to mess around with the operating system but not get price raped. Never used an Apple before, what would be a decent old model? I don't care about the performance as much as compatibility.
dunno I like ipads
they never depreciate, if you want old you gotta go real old

Dont go for anything that isnt intel
2011 macbook airs are a freaking a sweet buy atm because most of their batteries are worn out by now
Aren't old MacMinis cheap?
>>61295729
The fuck? Why are there bullet holes in that Macbook?
>>61298002
Because someone shot it, retard
>>61298013
I know that, but what is the reasoning behind shooting it you 'tard?

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro 13 inch. I upgraded it to 10GB of RAM and a 275GB SSD but it's running Fedora because OS X is trash. Not quite the garbage fire that Windows is, but it's pretty fucking awful. Only good part is the decent battery life, but batteries are a messy chemical process and your results may vary. If you're going to buy a Mac, get one that has support for the latest version of OS X. You might as well get a ThinkPad since they run GNU/Linux just as well and they're infinitely more durable than Macs. You'd think that the aluminum housing would be strong but it's not. It's made of soda can like material. I can dent it with my thumb nail.
Honestly, just don't.

Forgot pic. I'm booted into OS X right now. I've barely been using it.
Try buying an X220 and replacing the wifi card, it's like $100 for the computer and $10 for the wireless card and you have a completely functional laptop that runs better than a mac.

Battery replacement is a breeze.

mac battery replacement is a big pleb filter
i basically got a MBA for free because the charger and battery were busted and the owner was convinced it was beyond economical repair - hence my advice 2011 MBA are a sweet deal at the moment

I was curious about trying OS X so I bought a 2007 iMac 20" in February. I got it for $184 AUD shipping included, it runs most things fairly well (besides muh games) and I use it for netflix/youtube videos. It has a surprisingly great screen for a 10 year old TN panel.

I only wanted to try OS X so I could see if I liked it, you fucking idiot. Only materialistic fools would yell "POORFAG" at someone for not blowing $7000 on a new iMac.

there are a multitude of cheap and free ways to try OSX without buying the hardware - just admit you wanted the apple bling
i have a mac air with debian and i find it funny to this day people do the opposite and put osx on thinkpads
meybe i just put my foot down i have enough os's in my life.... win7 17 media desktop, debian MBA, iOS iphone 6s
it really all is fucking distracting ///
