Got the machine in great shape, none of the usual cracks around the palm rest or ports. It was used but very lightly. Only issue i ran into was a slight pause in the OS from time to time causing the beach ball to spin. turns out there may have been an issue with the hard drive but i had that on order anyway. I've installed a 128GB SSD and 4GB of RAM and the machine is now running El Capitan. Machine is great for browsing and movies as well as office/school use. These aren't bad machines in their shipped state but plan on installing at least 4G of RAM and I'd recommend a cheap SSD as 10.11.6 El Capitan runs dog slow on spinning disks.

It might be a good choice for Mac starters or people who're finding used mac product. I'm satisfied with this product, However, I'm really disappointed with its performance. Of course, This product was made in 2009. It's okay to use this product if you're always using internet or office program, not playing games. This could be a good choice. But, There is a problem with its cooler and CPU. Sometimes, It suddenly turns off itself, I am not sure, but It must be a problem with the cooler or CPU. It looks like its cooler isn't working well. So I am using this with my external laptop cooler. But anyway, This product is okay even though there're some problems with its cooler and CPU. I recommend this product if you have already had your external laptop cooler before you purchase this. It's for this old product and its performance.Read full review

My old laptop was getting so slow and was so cumbersome...I needed a new one. My daughter bought a MacBook a few years ago and has loved it, so I looked for some refurbished Macs to see if my tax return would cover it. Hurrah! The refurbished Mac is simply awesome! It took me a couple of days to get used to new key strokes, etc., but that was easy. The only (slight) problem I have faced is that the University I attend does not have a Mac application for something I used regularly--they say they're working on it. The MacBook is so amazing compared to other brands. I only wish I had tried sooner to buy one. I would definitely do so again! Major problem: the battery, which after a relatively short time began to swell, causing all kinds of difficulties until it was removed (it took a lot of searching to find out what was going on!). Since I cannot afford to buy another battery (they're pricey) the laptop is no longer very portable. If you want to move it somewhere, it requires shutting everything down first. I've also lost work because any power interruption (like bumping the nifty cord I once loved that detaches so easily) dumps whatever you did since the last deliberate save.Read full review
I've been looking for a reasonably priced computer for a while now. I came across this add and thought it was a great deal! I was a little concerned about shipping(took an extra day to ship) but they responded to me straight away and I received it two days later. The computer is really easy to set up, loads reasonably fast. It already came with updated software. Everything within the computer works great! This is a great buy! Haven't found a deal like this anywhere else!

Great deal, quick and nicely running Macbook, I dumped PC to try out the Mac AND I am now very happy. This 13 inch display works great, and at 24 inches smaller than my PC, the macbook STILL outshines the DELL by far. The new macbook came with a fresh install of OFFICE for Mac, has a fact 2.1 gigabytes processor on Earth, easy as hell to use, love the memory keyboard,

I am writing this review using the laptop I just bought. I was expecting a basic computer in passable condition to manage a couple of hobbies on the go. What I got was an excellent computer. I easily upgraded it to El Capitan (the most advanced OS this model can take). The case looks like new, the monitor looks clear and no discoloration. Even the trackpad and the CD drive work very well. I would rank this computer as in very fine condition. I would be honored to take this computer in to any number of settings in front of friends, etc.

There are better options in the market but if you need a cheap and quick solution you can get one of these pretty cheap. You get what you paid for which means you're not getting the fastest computer around. Upgradable to the latest mac os so far (mountain lion) for pretty cheap. Track pad is big and it actually has buttons, which i like, keyboard seems a little flimsy, like it can break easily. The edge can really hurt your wrist on a flat surface when typing, you need to use a tilted surface, I use a coolmaster fan for that and it helps a lot. Battery life is pretty good, they last a long time, on charge and on life, the coin lock or whatever is called breaks easily. I have read about issues with the headset jack, it gets stuck somehow and it does not produce sound from the speakers but if you plug speakers or a headset you will get sound, it seems a common occurrence with this model. It only comes with two usb ports so be sure to get a small hub if you use them a lot. Also lacks VGA output which i think is stupid because its very widely used, i understand no hdmi because its from 2009 but a VGA port would've been nice. Memory can be expanded to 6GB even when the specs says its expandable up to 4GB.Read full review
I've owned and used exclusively this computer since I bought it new in 2009. I've upgraded the RAM to 4GB, and swapped the HD for a 1TB (original was.. 128GB? Dunno, it was too small around 2015). I use it a lot for writing, surfing the web, some python coding, photo editing on GIMP. It runs Steam games like Portal and Portal2 just fine, and will even run flight simulators like YS Flight. If you are looking for a computer with high graphics capability this computer is not for you (Any flight sim other than YS Flight, Skyrim, Solidworks), but if you don't need that then I highly recommend this computer. I've even taken it apart several times to repair it myself (lack of $ to take it some place), and I found it simple and easy to do (Replaced the screen, CD player, HD, RAM). The only reason I bought another is that after a lot of travel (and I do mean a lot) the case has cracked in several places and I'm afraid of parts becoming exposed. It's taken nearly a year of abuse to get that far, however, which impresses me.Read full review

The item arrived quickly-- only 4 days after I ordered it, and 2 days before it was even expected! The laptop is in pretty good condition, although it does have a little bit of warping on the plastic near the screen, but that was just the one I got. The battery came with half of a charge, and definitely works. It came with Mac OS X 10.11.3 pre-installed, connected to my Wi-Fi and set up almost instantly! This is the 2009 model, which means it will run MacOS Sierra, when it releases. It came with 4 gigabytes of RAM, and a 2.13 GHz processor, so it will get most of your work done, and for only 149$ ((159 after shipping)) it's a great buy.

I already have a dependable desktop computer that I get most of my work and schoolwork done on, but I was looking for something that I could take with me to bed to do watch youtube videos and get a small amount of homework done. When I first got the laptop it was great, but after I installed an SSD it ran so smoothly that it blew me away. It can do everything I need it to without any problems whatsoever, and it even runs the latest OS X Capitan, however Mac OS Sierra will not be supported, but this is not much of an issue really (at least for me) because the performance makes up for that. I would say that this laptop runs just as well, if not better, than a windows laptop that I bought brand new for $1000.
