I need laptop for highschool, and my friend offered me his mac. It's kind of outdated and used, but he'll give it to me for $120, and my budget is $200. I know that Macs are good for work, but I also want it to play games; specifically Minecraft, Garry's Mod, and TF2. He claims it runs minecraft at 30-40 fps, but i don't know how it runs garry's mod. So should I get this computer?
Should I get an apple Mac from 2007?
Search for the name of the game and then "recommended hardware" and click the link to game-debate.com
That page will show you the minimum specs, something called GP Adjusted, and then the recommended configuration so you can see what they take and you can compare what the laptop has to see3.
You can go on ebay.com and search mac laptop by using second hand option. Then you can see various mac laptop and you get lot of experience about laptop and their price.
No. Flat out absolute not. You'd be getting ripped off no matter how much it costs
If your budget is $200 then buy new Chromebook,
