$700
I am selling a used 13 inch Macbook Pro I bought just under 3 years ago. To give the full history, I bought it from the original owner and am now selling because I barely use it. Please read the entire post before sending an email as I've tried to be as specific and detailed as possible.
I bought it in the UK and the only difference is some of the keys on the keyboard. The return key is a bit smaller and the dollar sign above the 3 is the British Pound sign. These are really minor differences and never had any issues, if you set the language to Canadian/American it will still display the correct $.
Just so I can save some back and forth emails there are a few negatives to note but also some bonuses.
Cons:
1. Upon bootup you have to hold the Alt key in order to select the Hard drive but otherwise it boots like normal. There's no bootcamp and the owner never mentioned why this was so. I didn't reset the system which might fix the problem because it came with some good programs which I will list in the Pros section. It's not exactly a problem, just something you have to remember to do (no password prompt or anything)
2. The owner said there was 1 dead pixel on the screen but he didn't even notice it for the longest time and I never noticed it either.
3. Since it was made in the UK, the power cord was really different and weird so I am not selling it with the power cord, just the laptop only. However, it will be fully charged so you can see for yourself if we arrange a meeting. You can get cheap ones off Ebay etc for $20 at most I think.
4. Since I barely use it, I forgot the Administrator password I set, but that doesn't really hamper anything and I'm told there are ways to recover it or get around it without resetting the system.
Pros:
1. Does not have bootcamp but comes with VM Ware and Windows 7 Ultimate on it. VM Ware allows you to open up Windows 7 as a window within the Mac OS without having to choose one or the other.
2. Comes with MS Office 2007 in the Windows 7 portion and Office for Mac 2008 on the Mac OS. The Office for Mac is a genuine copy as I bought and installed it myself and as far as I can tell the Windows Office is also genuine.
3. Since I have barely used it, the casing, screen, keyboard, and trackpad are in great condition. No scratches or permanent marks as far as I can tell.
4. Since I've hardly used it it remains in fantastic condition all around and functions perfectly, never had any problems.
Specs:
2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4GB DDR3
I'm asking $700 for it but will consider reasonable offers.
