Hi guys I've been offered a Macbook from a guy at work which seems like a good deal and I need one for my music production and live performance but I have no idea how much these things sell for second hand...

Can anyone tell me if this is a good deal!?

The Spec I've been offered is: Macbook 13.3", 2.26GHz, 160 GB HDD, 2GB RAM, including case and loads of software, plus it's in mint condition

Price is £650 possibly £600 if I can negotiate hard

Thoughts?

get the exact model number from him before doing anything
mac is way better than windows and is a much more stable platform
There is a huge amount of variations in the model numbers of laptops
and the price will reflect this

apart from it looking a bit different and not as much support for a lot of games/software you use on windows
it is way better

last mac i had was brilliant but lacked the amount of apps etc tghat windows gives

get model number and check prices on net
if it a deal then go for it

Napster - where did he get that from!?

Sirus - Will be keeping the PC, will just purely use the macbook for music production (Logic/Ableton) and live performance (Ableton/Traktor Scratch Pro)

Thanks again
