What is the best mac book for a woman who is short sighted and mainly uses programs like skype? My mother, who this thread is for, uses an iPhone 6 and mostly face-times with her family overseas.
I know the newest mac books are off the table (since they overheat and have horrible keyboards)
I wouldn't mind buying it, but sadly my mother doesn't have autism...
I wish my mother was a autistic. Sadly, like most women, she doesn't have any passion or hobbies...

Do you love your mom? Tell her to buy something else or you wont give her free tech support Do you not? Buy her any mac and meet her just on holidays

>family over seas you have to go back.

I would rather have her bear with GNU/Linux than Windows... But even then, Macs play nice with iPhones. Also, she can facetime on the Mac rather than her phone.

guys what do I do? If it were for my own personal use I would probably just buy a t420 and a new battery... I can't do that to my mother though, can I?! I just need something that lets her watch movies and is smooth. Windows is something I want to avoid for the rest of my life
Also, I can't just install GNU/Linux on a windows machine. My mother would need to call me every time something goes wrong! Macs just work...

your mother sounds like a fucking retard

Lol the most sane MacBook would probably be the MacBook Pro Early 2011. Anything else is pure garbage. Thats the one I had back when i was young. Plus its got all the ports and runs at a moderate speed once you slap in a SSD.

Pretty cheap too now a days on eBay, amazon or wherever
Alexander Mitchell
same thing with the iMac, too bad mine died.
Matthew Gray
yea i agree with you, im on the hunt for a cheap 2011/2012 macbook pro for just fucking off with. OP's mom probably would only need the 2011 but the 2012 has a slightly better gpu if that makes a difference to anyone else looking for something similar. think these are the last two models that are easy to service on your own too.

This. Especially if you can get a good price. It's a comfy shitposting/anime machine.
Jonathan Reed
Get her a Chromebook
Jeremiah Ramirez
Unironically, an Applel product. Probably an iPad would be ideal.
Sebastian Gomez
>short sighted Do you mean this in the metaphorical sense, or the literal eyesight one? If the latter, doesn't she wear her glasses?
Samuel Martinez
At least buy into the best meme aka get a fucking thinkpad you low life faggot.
Christian Price
depends if you are gonna be there to maintain it and repair it, you'll be best off with the 2011/12 they were the last to be upgradable and easily repairable but they are not super fast and getting new batteries isnt hard but there isnt an official supply i have a 2017 13inch (not by choice) and its fucking shite, so id say go for the 2015 at the latest
Noah White
oh yeah buy a thinkpad and a dock then put linux on it, upgrade to 16gb ram, ssd the works
