I just needed a mac to act as a hub server for me to ping messages from iMessage to my phone since I own an android device. For the price, on sale, this was more than enough to do just that. This being said, it was advertised as being in excellent condition, but when it arrived, there were a considerable amount of not only scratches, but also nicks out of the metal frame. Asides from this however, it worked as you would expect, a little slow by today's standards, and not very practical for much asides from acting as a server. So if you're looking for something to do daily tasks with, go elsewhere. If you're looking for something to act as a mini server, then this is very fair given the price of most used macs.
