I need to buy an Apple Laptop. This is so I can teach myself Apple stuff. (I've been a PC Technician for 15 years. Its time to branch out)

 

I'm looking for a used macbook. I'm looking for suggestions on what I should look for (models etc)

 

I don't wanna spend a boatload of cash, so don't suggest a new one.

 

Thanks in advance!

What's teach yourself 'Apple Stuff'

 

The only thing you can't do on a Windows natively that you can on a MAC is program for iOS devices, but there are even workarounds that.

he wants to know if there is a workaround for the right mouse button.

Isn't the work abound just buy a two button mouse? Or use command click?

 

Alternatively buddy buy yourself an apply keyboard / mouse andput a copy of iOS (whatever the latest is called) on a boot partition and use it that way. Or get an old intel duelcore laptop and boot iOS onto that.

there is a gesture for right clicking. i think you touch the pad with 2 fingers or something like that.

 

 

also, chasms.com lets you explore the layout on macs. and also, you could install a mac OS in a wm instead of buying the actual computer.

Someone gave me an Apple VM, but it's a PITA to set up and I haven't bothered to try yet.

I would try to find a macbook pro from around 2010-2011, i think those will be the best "cheap" macbook's with enough power to not be totally frustrating. I've seen some around for around 500 euro's i think. But i haven't got a clue what they go for in other countries.

 

In general, make sure you get a macbook with a Intel Core I5 or I7 processor. Those are relatively newish (except for the first ones maybe) and should all be similair enough to the newest of stuff out there so you can do a proper comparison between your own and what the costumer will have.
