Heatware!
There are a few things that make this machine different from stock:
- The battery has swelled pushing the left half of the track pad up ~1mm and making the left side difficult to button click, however it works just fine if you do tap to click or use a mouse.
- The battery still holds a pretty good charge of 5-6 hours
- Has no DVD drive, there is an optibay slot in its place (SSD not included, but installing one is just a matter of popping it in)
- RAM has been upgraded from 2 to 4Gb of Corsair XMS3 (slots full)
- Replaced the hard drive this year with a 640Gb Seagate drive
- The bottom cover was recalled and I replaced it with the new one.
This machine has spent 100% of its life inside a plastic case and for the majority of the time I used this machine in clamshell mode with a connected mouse/keyboard/monitor. This machine is cosmetically nicer than you would expect for its age, the only exception being the bulging battery. OS X Mavericks is installed on a freshly formatted drive, so the software is back to factory default.
Comes packed in original box with charger, power extension, stock RAM and documentation.
PRICE DROP
$OLD shipped to CONUS.
