Title: Used MacBook for my hassy
Post by: Emilmedia on May 07, 2013, 04:01:02 pm

Ive been looking for a good laptop to use for tethering my hassy. H3dii-39. I've never used Mac before but it seems like I will have to now to get the ports I need. What is your opinion on this:

You think it will last me 2-3 years?

It's ok. You need remove hdd and put there SSD drive, after that you will have nice combo with your hassy.

Best regards,
DF
