izit troublesome to upgrade SSD?

well even if you upgrade to SSD you're pretty much stuck to (now) ancient mac osx, do read the link below if you want to use this as an everyday desktop.

modern desktop apps for leopard or switch to Linux

I liked the pictures posted here.

but even mac have no better resale value?

Every item have life cycle. Not all apple macs have high resale value.. the one shared here, most of them are mass produce products. Imo, much better than other products

Short answer is NO. Most of us bought purely as collection and some for modding purposes. Max use cycle imo 5-7 years, after that obscelete.

even with ssd and linux imho it is sucking more electricity than needed to do the same thing a ULV chromebook can do.
however for collect and nostalgia it is nice.

thanks for all the feedback. want to buy it as part of collection. but then felt skeptical with the seller.

wanted to close deal at RM400 but ask for bankin 1st. better just call off the deal, even if he just offer for RM100.

Better cod, if wanna buy online either ebay or other trusted website

electric vampire haha.. true that.. still would be fun to try and mod stuffs.. i'm planning on doing it someday.. for now just as collection haha

in the mean time...

That's yours? Damn.. give me one.. lol.. trying to find one to do some modding

Haha cool dude.. man, sure wish i have one.. only have mdd and cube

cube is good
more rare then macpro
macpro can buy around 300 in mudah

Bought from buyee.co.jp
Japanese website.. in the end shipping more expensive than itself, plus, poslaju screwed the delivery, arrived cracked.. i had to glue back.. sigh...
