HI Artichoke,
I was recently in a similar predicament to you in terms of an older Macbook Pro that has literally been with me for the last 6 years, It was worn and almost worn out , i needed a new one but also needed to get an additional three for by business.I am a massive fan of Mac and Apple products , yes they are extremely reliable and user friebdly but also expensive. We ended up deciding to upgrade by buying refurbished - we did hunt around , ebay didnt quite offer us what we needed in terms of quality and quantity so we bought from a refurbished apple reseller, not sure if this is what you may need but thought is would be ffod for thought. Good Luck with your search.
