Hi everyone,
I have a Mid-2009 15" Macbook Pro with the 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo. I know, it's a joke in 2018, but I need some advise.
I need a new Windows laptop, but I'm on a budget. I'm thinking about installing Windows 10 on the Macbook and using that. However, I do want to install a SSD and 8GB of ram in it. Total cost of doing so would be about $100.
With my available funds, I would likely have to buy a used or low-end Windows laptop anyways. However, they would be newer and have newer processors. I could also sell the Macbook. The reason why I'm indecisive about this is because the Macbook is in absolutely mint condition. It's been kept in a case its entire life and does not even have one scratch. Everything works. I just don't know how much life can I still expect out of it if I were to keep using it. And I don't know how Windows 10 will run on the old Core 2 duo and NVidia 9400M.
What do you think? Upgrade Macbook, get a used or low-end Windows laptop, or sell Macbook?
