Macbook Help

[RandomRyan]

Hello DevBest.

I don't know what Macbook I should choose? I'm buying used, I know what to look for.
Details: I'm using the macbook for photography and video editing, not alot but medium use.

I have two Macbooks that I'm interested in, if you could help me pick the right one, would be great!

ONE: $950.00
MacBook Pro Core i7 2.66 Ghz. with Turbo Boost, 15.4 Inch (Mid-2010) is powered by a 32 nm, dual-core 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 I7-620M (Arrandale) processor, with dedicated 256k level 2 cache for each core and a 4 MB shared level 3 cache, 4 Gigs DDR 3 Ram, 500 Gig Hard Drive, Isight Camera, USB 3.0, Bluetooth, and dual graphics processors + a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 512 MB of dedicated GDDR3 memory and Intel HD Graphics with 256 MB of RAM shared with the system, OSX changes video as required, AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, a Firewire 800 port, two USB 2.0 ports, optical digital/analog audio in/out, a Mini Display Port that supports an external display at 2560x1600 (it also passes an audio signal), and an SD card slot, Super Drive DVD, New Battery,OS X Mavericks. Used. New $1900.00 List.
Late 2010

TWO: 1,000.00
Apple Macbook Pro - 13" Mid 2012
The battery still holds a full 7 hour charge, and only has been cycled 119 times. It is good for 1000 cycles, so it still has about 88% of its life left.

Specs:
Dual Core Intel i5 Processor 2.5GHz with Turbo Boost to 3.1GHz (3MB L3 Cache)
13.3" LED Backlit Display (1280 x 800 Native Resolution)
4GB 1600MHz DDR 3 Memory
500GB 5400RPM Hard Drive
Intel HD4000 Graphics with 1024MB VRAM
8X Super-Multi Dual Layer DVD +/-RW
Magsafe Charger


What do you think of these two models, I value all options

Thanks.

I would go for option 2 because it's much faster and better.

 

[Macemore]

Option one because is has a better CPU, and a higher res.
Second one if you think it looks better, then go with that for sure.

I found a newer Macbook: alittle less power. I assume.

2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor (Turbo Boost up to 2.9GHz) with 3MB shared L3 cache
It has retina display
Price: 1,500.00
Worth it?

I don't think so. 1.5k for those kinds of specs is silly.

I have picked up a MacBook Pro i7, 4 GBS of RAM and 7 GBS of storage.
I enjoy Macs now, way BETTER THEN PCS!

No, not really. Enjoy your 4gbs of RAM.
