Upgraded to a new Macbook
I had a few offers for my Macbook, but never enough money to pay the price difference between what I would get for my old Macbook and what I would have to pay for a new one. With a recent project I finally managed to get that difference covered so I sold my 1st generation Macbook (including the stickers), and bought a basic model 4th generation. I switched my custom bought 160GB Western Digital before I handed my old Macbook to my friend Amir.
My old Macbook was a 1.83Ghz CoreDuo with 2GB of Ram, a 160GB harddrive and a ComboDrive. I bought a new Macbook for £699(€980) and spend €80(£57) on upgrading the memory to 4GB. Al of this gave me the following upgrades:
- Wireless N (not that I have a router that supports that, but maybe in the future)
- 4GB of ram (+2 on the old 2GB)
- 1 year of full warranty (seriously worth a lot of money)
- 144MB Graphics card (vs 64MB)
Don’t have my 4GB or ram yet which makes it very slow at the moment using the standard 1GB. Macbooks really need at least 2GB of Ram. The 4GB will arrive at my parents’ place Wednesday, but I won’t be there before Thursday.
