Is this worth a look for £200?
For £200, it'll be OK, if it's in decent nick. Note that it will be a bit sluggish, given its age. Mrs G'snewer C2D 13" MBP is feeling the strain these days and that's on 4 GB of RAM (which I'm updating later today to
. I'd check to see if the Mac in question can run Mountain Lion and also how much it'd cost to upgrade the RAM to at least 4 GB.
On the OS in general, I'm not sure how he'd sell a machine with Lion on to you. That was Mac App Store only, and the recovery discs for a machine of that age must be Snow Leopard or even Leopard. However, if the machine can recover to Snow Leopard
and successfully run Mountain Lion (check online for compatibility), you can upgrade for 14 quid.
But with an old machine, don't expect
too much, obv.
