That's not a $2400 laptop. That's a $400 laptop at most.
It was $2400 in 2014, which was seven years ago.
- erichocean 6y agoA new laptop with equivalent specs from Apple is at least $2400. This is not complicated.
- znpy 6y agoA new laptop with equivalent specs is probably a $300 Chromebook. That thing is 7+ years old. Don't be silly.
- mtmail 6y agoI own the same laptop model, same year, also with battery that needs replacement. At well kept state they can reach 600 Euro (about $700 USD) on ebay in my country. Mine isn't well kept and I wouldn't sell anything with a battery in a bad condition so I have no illusion mine is worth even $400.
- google234123 6y agoYour laptop does not have equivalent specs to the new ones :P No doubt yours will feel very slow compared to it running modern software.
- stu2b50 6y agoIf you really think so I would recommend looking at some benchmarks because that is not particularly close to reality. Although you should wait until the M1 variant of your laptop releases. It is a bad time to buy the non Apple Silicon macbooks.
- JediPig 6y agoI was about to say the same thing. Its not a $2400 laptop. His only choice is go to ebay / amazon. A laptop 7 years old it is a miracle that laptop lasted that long. at $200, apple rep is right, its best to put that $ into a new or slightly used laptop. I do not get these posts that say things like this on a laptop that has done its duty for 7 years. Even HP / Dell / Lenovo enterprise will not have the parts for this.
- aequitas 6y ago> A laptop 7 years old it is a miracle that laptop lasted that long. It's not a miracle, it's why Apple hardware has high second hand value. Got a 2012 Macbook Pro here still doing great. As it should be.
