This is my 3rd 17" MBP, and although it is amazing, there are a few things i do not like about it: Previous 17's had surprisingly great sound, but this new 17" has horrible sound. Speaker grill holes are like pinholes, and the sound is very thin and tinny. Also, the new glass trackpad. What a bad design. I had to actually open the laptop up to adjust the click pressure, it was VERY loud (CLICK) and hard to press down. I very much miss the older separate button. Screen resolution is incredible, but with that higher rez, system fonts and text within all applications is much smaller, so if you have bad eyesight, you might want to pass on the 17" and go for the 15". The actual unit is much more soundly built then previous versions. The billet aluminum housing is very stout. Look likes it's going to hold up to years worth of use. I purchased mine used WITH apple-care, off someone on ebay. Saved about $1000 in the end buy doing this. I would recommend doing your research, the Applestore being your last resort. (Unless you have bottomless pockets).Read full review
This unit looks like new, is fairly clean, no dents or noticeable scratches. Previous owner clearly showed a lot of care by upgrade the hard drive to solid state and added 2 gb more RAM. Seen previous offers for less or more money with a lot less to offer. So far this is a good value for my money.

Excellent computer by 2009 standards and today as well. Plenty of memory and options for what I am using it for. it's a Mac so no viruses just like all my other Mac's that I still own dating back to 1998.

This is the second used Mac laptop I have purchased and I have been very pleased with both. I needed to upgrade to a faster machine as the 5 year old model was now too slow. The MacBook Pro 17 is perfect for my needs and has all the features I was looking for. The lighted keyboard is also a nice touch.
