Sure, it doesn't have all the glitz of a shiny new unibody MacBook, but an older-generation MacBook might just do the trick for a lot less money. Heck, you'd be surprised at how well an older iBook G4 can still handle just about everything that you might want to do. Here's how to make sure your money is well spent.

Preserve your Mac's resale value
One of the great things about using a Mac is that unlike many commodity Windows PCs, it doesn't turn to metaphorical dust--an unusable pile of silicon and metal--after three or four years of use. Heck, a three-year-old Mac is often still a solid computer, and a one-year-old Mac is a great "new" machine for many people. Which is why selling a Mac when it's of a relatively recent vintage can be an economical way to keep using the latest and greatest Mac hardware.
