Get a New, Faster Model
Apple keeps putting out faster and faster Macs at lower and lower prices. But some Mac models still ship with a paltry 2GB of RAM. Yes, it’s officially enough RAM to run Mountain Lion, but I say it’s not enough to run it at its best.
Check out the latest iMacs and Mac minis — they’re excellent values. Or if you crave portability, MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros are rocking good computers and have never been less expensive. You might even consider a used Mac that’s faster than yours. eBay (www.ebay.com
) has hundreds of used Macs up for auction at any given time. Shopping on eBay might just get you a better Mac at an outstanding price. Give it a try!
Another excellent option is to visit the Apple website and search for refurbished equipment. You can frequently save hundreds of dollars by purchasing a slightly used Mac that has been refurbished to factory specifications by Apple. Another advantage to refurbs is that they come with an Apple warranty. If you’re on a tight budget, definitely check it out.
