A little background
I'm a uni student; I've had this for a year and a bit now—it's been a marvellous piece of hardware; the best damn computer I have every used. You will not find a more stable, well-built, gorgeous (it is very pretty!) portable computer. I need something lighter, so I'm selling it.
Condition
It's near-new. I've had the display, topcase and battery replaced by Apple recently—they're brand new! Only imperfections are a little bump in the case on the corner, and the release button is a bit scratched (see the pictures). I've never used it to its maximum potential, so the internal hardware is in great condition. Comes with original packaging.
Specs
• 15" LED-backed screen. Instant-on to full brightness; much larger viewing angle than traditional LCD-backed screens.
• Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz processor. Dual-core. 64 bit. It's a powerhouse.
• 160 GB hard drive. 4 GB RAM.
• Superdrive. Burns DVDs.
• GeForce 8600M GT with 256 MB dedicated memory for graphics.
• 4-hour battery with WiFi on, 98% health (only months old).
Little things that make all the difference
• Aluminium case. If you haven't seen a Mac in real life, they're simply gorgeous. With made industrial-grade aluminium from the top down, it evokes professionalism and class. There's no comparison.
• Ambient light sensor. That auto-adjusts the screen's brightness.
• Keyboard backlight. Keys glow when it's dark, so you can see what you're typing. Very useful in lectures, and also gets the ladies.
• iSight camera. 3-way video chat with friends and colleagues on iChat, or use Photo Booth and play with photo effects.
• MagSafe connector. Power cord is connected magnetically, so if your roommate trips over the cord, it yanks clean off.
• Minimalist design at its best. Look at the bottom of the Macbook Pro. No fans, so holes, no indents. Superbly clean and simple. The bottom of a Mac looks better than the front of the other guys. You can tell this product was designed not made. Every curve, every detail was considered. It's quality.
Any questions, contact me anytime.
I go to Usyd, so I can arrange a meetup anywhere in Sydney city.
