I still do a lot of decent work on a non-unibody MBP from 2008, so I think a 2009 model would still have some utility, but I would consider the price carefully - it might be more worth it to buy a newer MB air or something, knowing you'll get a few more years out of it.

I am aware that Macbook Air can't do heavy work. That's why i am looking for a Pro. The price for the one a friend of mine is selling is 600euro with upgrade Ram and SSD.
It depends on what you mean by 'heavy', an air is more than capable for 99% of web dev tasks. I work in firefox os which includes needing to rebuild gecko constantly, as well as the occasional full android stack build and the macbook air is sufficient.
oh ok i see.
