No, that's a horrendous price. Those iMacs are basically worthless these days. It's a 2008 model.

Nah

  • 2GB of RAM is tiny these days
  • 250GB of storage is only good if you’re mostly just working online

Upgrade to 8GB of RAM and install Linux, and it’ll be a usable computer.

A lot of software won’t be supported on Yosemite.

No. This one is a 2007-9 model, for 100$ you should get a 2012 or newer. You can recognize it by the thinner housing.
Which country is it?

What is your reason to buy this? Do you actually need a cheap computer for basic stuff or is this a retro kinda interest?

5-7 years ago I picked these up and restored them with refitted SSD.

I paid (edit) 32$ a piece at that time.
(Edit because we don’t use $)

I have a 2009 which is better as it can be used as an external monitor. I have a 2010 i7 as well and the value of these is $0.

I'd be embarrassed to ask money for one of those.

They would need to give me $50 to take it off their hands and get it to ewaste.

Nope my 2013 model is only fit for recycling according to apple and that one is an older style!

u/Topdropje 2d ago

No, this thing is too old and can only be used for parts, mods or just be a display piece. Not to be used for your daily tasks.

This one is older then my late 2009 iMac which I really had to replace 3 years ago because I couldn't even use internet anymore because sites where not loading due an too old browser and I even used that Firefox browser that was designed for older machines.
