macbook pro 15" price range?

[denis6902]

I am sorry, i think i started doing something and forgot about it :S

I was just going to ask if anyone knows more about mac, and was undicided about what laptop to get. However, i am figuring it out that price has to be bargain ones, then max i could possibly dream of is this one:

Would be def. interested in a second hand bargain for a laptop like that.

too expensive for me, how about a second hand price, what is it like?

perhaps a 2.8GHz or even 2.6Ghz would already have an ace performance?

Is it worth it?

Cherios

sorry, updated

How about some pimp modding? any good? I bet it would be ace to make a nice anodized job combined with poder coating onto this laptop case. Or woud it be just impossible to be opened?

the gold mac is soo ****ing nice that i dont like it, but here

in this link some ace pics of a black one, interesting :eyes:

Say 3k british, knowing apple. Oh and 4k for the gold coloured of course, just because it's shinier

<edit> oh I finally get the point of this topic

I don't think the macbook pros are worth the price. I've worked with the apple OS and it drove me nuts within ten minutes while you do pay a lot for it. You can of course install windows 7 on it but then there are laptops with higher specs and slightly lower build quality at a lower price point.</edit>

is it worth hackintosh? then i will endup having to change hardware inside and etc, and in the end the design will never be that nice looking, what do u think?

which laptops would u recommend for mac OS ?

 

[mrapoc]

anything in which you pay more £££ just for the brand isnt worth it imo

the hardware isnt like top spec so imo its not worth it

although other swear by apple..unless they are too embaressed to admit they got ripped xD

 

[denis6902]

so what is the ultimate laptop which is worth buying for hackingtosh?

 

[mrapoc]

never really tried a mac so i wouldnt know sorry

prefer ubuntu/windows
