| - | NOTE: |
| + | NOTE: OLDER systems are better because if it is like 2009 to mid-2012 ***MacBook Pros*** they are unibody so you can upgrade/repair it easily, Retina ***MacBook Pros*** (2012-2016) can be repaired not as easily tho, Newer ones (around 2017-present) with the retina display are harder to repair and on the storage and ram are soldered on the Motherboard Which means no storage or ram upgrades so you need to pay a bit extra when buying one the to get enough ram for what you intend to do with it. |
| - | NOTE: ***Mac minis*** are so compact its really hard to repair,[br] |
| - | NOTE: 2016 to 2017 ***Macbooks have known problems*** like CPU, GPU, Sound, USB-C -board, keyboard going out randomly, DO NOT BUY THEM!!!!! [br] |
| - | also you have to take apart the whole computer to get to the battery due to all of the computer is built on the bottom cover |
| + | NOTE: 2008-2020 ***IMacs*** are compact and you have a risk of getting shocked by the exposed Power supply |
| + | |
| + | NOTE: late 2012 - present ***IMacs*** have ***adhesive*** holding on the screen,[br] |
| + | NOTE: 2016 to 2017 ***MacBooks have known problems*** like CPU, GPU, Sound, USB-C -board, keyboard going out randomly, DO NOT BUY THEM!!!!! [br] |
| + | also, you have to take apart the whole computer to get to the battery due to all of the computer is built on the bottom cover |
