Accidental Damage to a Macbook LCD
06/07/09 Filed in: Hardware
Hi Scotty - quick question - I am thinking about putting a mac in my middle daughter's room (almost 6). Big sister seems to have thrived since she got hers at about same age. Any thoughts on a modest (read cheap) way to get a used mac. I suspect the computer will take a beating and will only be used for surfing a few kid's websites. Of course - this may cause me to get a new machine and hand down old macbook.

As far as a kid friendly, low cost, mac...I'd check eBay for an early intel like an intel core duo (not core 2 duo). These will be much lower cost and still be fine for simple kid use. Don't get a G5 powerPC based machine. There's no future with PPC. Also, avoid sellers on eBay who want to raise the cost by including additional software.
