I've had this MacBook since October 2006 (yep - almost 10 years old!). In the last few months, it's started running a bit slower, dropping off the internet, etc.
More recently, it's saying that the AirPort isn't there, even though it's connected to WiFi so the internet won't load pages at all. I managed to do another full backup to an external this week. I have an appointment at the Genius Bar tomorrow.
I feel like they're going to tell me the Hard Drive needs to be replaced - but is it really worth it to do that to a 10 year old laptop? Or should I bite the bullet and get a new MacBook - the rose gold is so pretty - and so much more storage. My currently laptop has 80 GB which I had to move some pictures to an external (so it's full!); the new one I'm look at has 256GB!
