    I posted a what I want to buy in the buy forum.

    Is a Macbook pro 13 sold in November 2015 a bad buy for $600USD? i5, 8GB, 120GB.

    Its in good condition, back in the box, no screen glare flaking or freying of the magsafe.

    Please advise if its a good buy?

    I sold my 2011 as I had too many problems with it and it was getting old.

    I guess it's ok. I mean if you don't do anything demanding on it you'll be fine. But if you do anything like gaming, video editing, photoshop etc. that thing will be a utter nightmare to work with.

    If it's a 2015 model then the price is fair. You need to decide if you can live with the small 128GB storage space.

    Macbook "pro" not very pro at all.....but if you want it as a nice facebook machine then yes, but be wary 120gb is very small storage space, you will constantly be having to offload files to external disk.
