Purchase New Apple Laptop -> Sell on Ebay after 12months having only lost $200(average) in depreciation -> Purchase New model. I have followed this cycle since 2004, It's kind of like leasing but on my own terms.
I personally feel that $200/year is a very small price to pay for a machine that brings in the bacon. I spend a LOT MORE to keep my Adobe CS Master up to date.
- user49598 14y agoThats a lot of work most people aren't willing to do.
- Scramblejams 14y agoI want to see your ads. I've never been able to sell a laptop (Apple or otherwise) of recent vintage and take so small a hit.
- kenrikm 14y agoOh, forgot to add purchased with a student discount. So when you're saving $200 and you take a $200 hit it's really $400 less then retail.
- jaems33 14y agoI doubt that there'd be many buyers for this Retina Model that'd only take a $200 discount. Near maxed out (16 GB, 512 GB, 2.6) would be $3000+ (taxes). Even if you dropped it into the high $2k, that's a lot to pay for a used computer, especially since next year will likely have Haswell architecture which will be a bigger difference than Ivy Bridge was to Sandy Bridge.
