What is the current quality of this MacBook for sale?

I am using this macbook as I write. Still up and running, 5 years later. This macbook batch was good. I read yesterday that consumer electronics are trending to die within two years of purchase, and that the trend is on a slippery slope down. I am on here looking for another one of these just to have around. Gotta make sure you get the macbooks with intel processor. The world now just isn't a friendly place for the pre-intel macbooks anymore.

This Macbook has worked well for me, with no issues to speak of. I am running Snow Leopard, so I cannot answer how the newest software will work.

I'm still using my white 13" Macbook Late 2008 daily and have never had a problem. The battery doesn't hold like a new one but it is 4 years old. I've had one small crack in the case but a dab of clear Gorilla Glue fixed that. I'm running Lion 10.7.5, Office 2011, Photoshop Elements 10, all without problems. You should know that Apple no longer supports this model and the video hardware is not supported by Mountain Lion 10.8.

I have this macbook since 2008 and I'm still using it. It works just fine, the only thing that broke was the power adapter, but I bought a new one and it is ok.

I would love to own a 13' Macbook Pro. In fact, it would be my ideal laptop. I just can't justify dropping $1,200+ for an Apple laptop with similar specs to this Asus notebook, even if they do get Sandy Bridge in March.

Siska - my newest one just broke last week. Less than 6 months old. Losing count of how many this makes that I've shelled out good money for. Brand new each. I'm looking....I may be a fool, but I'm thinking of trying the wireless. Doubt it will be much better - Apple doesn't seem much interested in making decent, reliable keyboards or mouse for their MacBook Pro ---- and considering how much they both cost, why would they want to stop gouging the customers now whenthere is money to be made? I'll write a review when I get a wireless. I will warn you, however: I once tried a non-Apple wireless system, and it destroyed mymacbook pro. I mean....ate it up. I had to send it away for serious repair. Siska - my newest one just broke last week. Less than 6 months old. Losing count of how many this makes that I've shelled out good money for. Brand new each.

I bought mine used almost a year ago and it was completely worth the $500 I spent on it. If you haven't used mac before I would check one out at a store first. The one I got was in perfect condition with everything. This particular model is really nice. Very similar to the modern MacBook Pro. Looks basically identical but has the last gen of processors. I bought the upgrade to mountain lion and now mavericks and it runs them just fine. The only downside to these older models is that you cannot run mirror through your Apple TV. Otherwise it handles just about anything you could need.

you get what you pay for. I bought this for my wife to replace an HP Pavilion that lost the main board. it's not fancy by today's standards but it works well. main issues are all cosmetic. if you need more than it is after you've go it in hand and are capable the upgrades aren't tough. I swapped in a larger (and newer) hard drive, sourced a 2GB memory kit off ebay (new, $25 and free shipping) and upgraded the OS up to the latest it'd take (mountain lion if I remember right). Me and the wife are both happy with the end result and she finally gets to experience a Mac for herself. if you're worried about warranty or newness of product I'd suggest hitting the local walmart for a $200 netbook. these are after all used but you're NOT going to touch any new Apple laptop for this price. I hope this helps you. :)

The computer should have 4GB of RAM and 160GB HDD from any seller. ThanksDiscount Mac Depot

As I said on your review (of a machine you never actually used), I am doubtful that your MacBook Air was really DOA. You seem really uninformed. (For example, the original MacBook Air has a 80 GB hard drive.) The penny-pinching is also indicative of someone who should probably not be in the market for an MBA. It is not a budget computer.

It is a Mid 2007. It is a fantastic computer for basic needs. It will run OSX Yosemite 10.10.2 fairly easily,but Apple originally designed it for OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Keep in mind that while it is upgradeable to 10.10.2 this is the last O/S that it will be eligible for. If you are looking for a Mac that can handle photoshop, lightroom, Indesign or anything else resource heavy, you may want to consider a newer model. This model can handle these programs, but at the cost of speed. I still own one and it was great to run my business from, but now as software updates, this iMac lags behind. ~PC/MAC Technician

The Mac that I purchased was a 2007-2008 vintage machine. I cannot attest to what the seller is selling currently. I am sure that it changes over time.

I'll second this. Just chatted with someone from the apple.com, and they said a 17" MacBook Pro would arrive within a couple weeks of ordering.

I send the Mac with OSX Mavericks. Amazon does not let Sellers Update Specifications on All Amazon Listings. I cannot speak for Other Sellers. The Finest Macbooks -

Not familiar with Mac availability. Only know that it's worth about $9.95 at the most.

I also wanted to find out about the same seller as he was selling Apple MacBook Pro MB985LL/A 15.4-Inch Laptop for only $1000. Which is unbelievable. Please let me know if anyone knows anything about this seller whether its just a scam or not?

This is the LATEST model currently offered for sale by Apple. There are rumors on the Web of a newer model coming out for the Christmas shopping season.

bought mine Saturday, came with old leopard (but i bought snow leopard) best macbook pro ever. snow leopard really makes it come alive (with speed) my adobe and pro apps load up with the greatest of ease (it's scary how fast they run now), heck, even firefox doesn't slow down the system anymore! (though it does take it's time) and now you can add more than 10 items to you dock (when dragging a folder down), soo awesome!
