About this product

Product Information

Enjoy speedy processing, gaming, and web surfing with this Apple MacBook Pro Laptop. Its quad-core technology and dual graphic processors make this A1297 MD311LL/A Mac model stand out. Weighing in at 6.6 pounds, this little dynamo is much stronger than it looks and comes loaded with all the extras that make Apple a household name, such as an integrated, FaceTime HD camera and dual graphic display processors. Featuring a 2.4GHz Intel Core i7 processor for zippy computing, this Apple MacBook is powered by four separate processing cores. Popularly known as a "Quad-Core," these four separate cores are all contained on a single silicon chip. For most activities, users will only use 2.4GHz of power, but this core processor technology also includes the Intel turbo boost, which automatically increases processing speed to 3.5GHz whenever it's necessary. This is a serious amount of power and ensures optimal performance for both work and play. The visuals of the MacBook Pro make it a great choice for multimedia works, and the 17-inch display makes it easy to watch a video in a high-definition format. Gamers will love it, too. Along with the 2.4GHz processing speed and turbo boost core technology, this MacBook Pro comes with dual graphic processors, an Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor, and an AMD Radeon HD 6770M. The system automatically switches between these two graphics cards to meet demand, so even all sorts of graphically demanding webpages and programs will always look crystal clear. This MacBook comes with a 750GB serial ATA hard drive, which allows you to store thousands of photos, videos, and documents without sacrificing speed. Hidden behind its thin and rounded design is 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM memory and 1333MHz of RAM speed. This amount of memory makes this Mac incredibly fast, fluid, and easy to use. You never should worry about slowing down when you need to multitask. Apple supports a total of 8GB of RAM on this model, so more memory could be added if desired. Connecting to the internet is effortless with the Apple MacBook Pro. It can be hardwired via standard Gigabit Ethernet, or you can connect wirelessly with an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station or Bluetooth. Additional ports on this MacBook Pro include an ExpressCard/34 expansion slot, separate in and out audio connectors, a Firewire 800, and a Thunderbolt port. The unit includes three USB ports for peripherals, such as cameras and phones. Other features include an HD, FaceTime webcam and a standard optical "Superdrive" for saving files or watching your favorite movies. The upgraded battery uses lithium polymer sheets. This means you can use the Apple MacBook Pro for up to seven hours before needing a charge. Known for its outstanding technology and its flawlessly intuitive MAC OS, this Apple product can perform any task you may throw at it. For power, speed, and aesthetics, the A1297 MD311LL/A 2.4GHz, MacBook Pro, 17-inch laptop is truly in a league of its own.

Top critical review
get a newer model with faster thunderbolt 3 no video problems
I recommend getting a MacBook pro if you are a composer / musician using DAWs and pluggins etc However I don't recommend the 2011 17inch version for one BIG reason This Macbook pro had video card issues where by the time I took it to an service center I had the cost of $1200.00 invested in it beyond the price I paid for it It was my fault trying to save a little money and should have went the NEW route when it comes to Apple products. It has a design problem with the video system which if not fixed renders the laptop useless. I took it to one of the best rated Mac service centers in the country and even then they had to completely replace the logic board. When they cringed at the mention of the video defect I was concerned.Save your nerves and money and get something more current. Maybe you'll spend a little more but in the long run a better experience.Read full review

If you have a good PC, it doesn't worth switch, it's pretty much the same.
Excellent Product, just brand new, it was very easy to negociate with my seller. I had a PC before and it's not far from what I had, the difference is more just about how much you will be paying for the Mac, in my opinion it doesn't worth it. If you wanna a computer just for intertainment this screen is too big... My idea was to have it to work with web design, but I think the intel has been having problem with its processor, because it's overheating and when it happen the computer starts to freeze. I have hopes they are gonna fix it before I lose my warranty, and I hope I can change it without cost. Otherwise, I'm gonna keep working with maximun potency till a burn up something inside, cause it really gets hot.

WONDERFUL MACHINE, IF....
....one can adjust to small text. Yes, text can be enlarged, but the default (visual) size is about half of what's in the 15.4 inch MacBook Pro model I own. Maybe I'm missing something, but seem to remember a similar set of comments from other users of the machine that should never have been discontinued..... especially if the software were to have been rewritten regarding visual text size. The real irony here is, I bought the 17 inch MacBook Pro due to failing eyesight.

These Apple laptops are great machines. They’re all but bulletproof! Also easily upgradable. There’s not a PC made that can match these Macs!
The Apple OS was made to handle graphics and other large files in a manner that the Windows OS simply cannot match. The MacBook Pro build quality is top shelf too. The best way to grade this is an historic look at the number of these machines in use by graphics studios and career professionals who choose their equipment on the basis of results. Apple’s MacBook Pro just can’t be beat!
