Is buying an older, out-of-date Mac computer worth it in the long run?

Question

I found some very inexpensive Mac computers on macofalltrades.com. Some of them are a little out of date, so I was wondering if I should go through with the purchase.

P.S. If any of you guys know of any websites or store that sell cheap, not-out-of-date, refurbished macs, please tell me!

Answer 1

don't buy a out of date old mac you are just asking for problems.

get one that at most a year old or newer

Answer 2

That would depend on what you mean by "Out of date"....? How old is it exactly?

get a refurbished Mac from the Apple refurbished store - it will be warranted and guaranteed for 3 months from date of purchase.
