If you've been meaning to get a Macbook and you have no intentions on using it for anything CPU or RAM intensive then this is the one to get. I am a DJ/Producer/Label Owner and I have found this product to be exactly what I was looking for. My intentions behind the purchase was originally to use it solely for Serato, a software designed for DJ's which allows us to no longer have to burn CD's or carry heavy heavy crates of records. This machine meets the minimum requirements for that and then some. It does not exceed the minimum by vast amounts but it is certainly enough to prevent hiccups. If you are looking for a production laptop, I would recommend a Macbook Pro because the CPU, RAM, and hard drive space on this particular model would not suffice. This model came with OS Tiger installed and I went ahead and upgraded to Snow Leopard for about $30. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PURCHASE LEOPARD FIRST! Apple would like you to believe that, but I'm telling you from first hand experience it is NOT necessary. I now use it for more than just Serato. It's a great laptop for the small business owner as well. It even Came with Microsoft Office 2008 installed. For $500 it was certainly worth the purchase. I highly recommend it.Read full review
Ordered for my daughter, wasn't quite ready to get her a brand new one, want to try out a used one to see how she takes care of it, this was in surprisingly great shape and works perfectly-she won't need a new one for while
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I bought this USED, NON-FUNCTIONING laptop to repair to trade to a student locally. I am attempting to address the Digital Divide on a case-by basis, and I think this student is a good risk. This is a good solid workhorse Mac, with a version of Mavericks or Yosemite, it can help them create top-notch classwork to further their education. The #1 dislike I have about this model is that it REQUIRES off-spec RAM PC2-6400, vs. 5300 like the rest of the Core 2 Duo MacBooks.
I bought the MacBook to help me learn about Apple computers. I bought a used iBook previously to use at a conference for backup. Each year more and more people are using Apples for their presentations. I bought several books so I could learn to speak Apple after being a PCer for years. The MacBook seemed quite a bit more advanced than an iBook and it had more features I was interested in than did the MacBook Pro. This MacBook came with Office so I could cover either type of presentation. It is easier to carry than my desktop replacement PCs, well-built, and the modest hard drive doesn't pull down the battery. Being the black version does make some people look twice to see if it really is an Apple. Things I don't like are only get 4 hours on the battery and I am limited to 4GBs memory. But then I am just a whiner!Read full review
What an absolutely fantastic laptop! I made the shift from a new Windows PC to this Macbook and the transition was absolutely phenomenal. Even at 5 years old the Macbook ran faster, smoother, and with a plethora of more features than my previous computer. The size is fantastic and the hardware is just great overall, with an absolutely fantastic screen in particular. Battery life only ranges from 2-3 hours, but again that is still a decently generous amount for a 5 year old laptop. Fantastic overall though! Luckily I managed to snag mine at a mere $250 bucks too!
I love everything about this MacBook. It puts any pc laptop to shame. Once I learned the differences in keyboard shortcuts and other little things, I haven't thought about my old hp laptop once. It's easy to use, and all the special features make it a great investment.I would recommend a MacBook to anyone.
Basically it's a poorly designed piece of trash. Every single screw is a different size, everything's cramped, packed in, and routed behind everything else. It's also severely prone to display failure, as both units I purchased had display issues. Also, slot loading optical drives are terrible, since there's no mechanical release. Overall, this is a terrible product and your money is best spent elsewhere.
Awesome laptop..loaded with ram, hard drive space, and speed. Great purchase or the price. Had an issuse with the charger not working, but upon contacting customer service I literally had a working charger the next day! Love my MacBook, the black color rocks!.
This is a great addition to my computer tools. I replaced the hard drive and boosted the memory to 4 gigs. It works great. I don't mind a heavy notebook. I work at the university and I've seen so many students walk off and leave their laptops on a table or something. This one is heavy enough that I will know when I don't have it with me!
This laptop was "as-is" because it suffered water damage. We were able to buy it very cheaply. We were not sure it could be salvaged but took a chance. Installation of a another (used) logic board brought it back to life and it is now as good as new. We use it as a media computer, connected to our TV via HDMI. This is a great laptop from Apple. Their "core 2 duo" range of computers are fast and dependable. We have three in our home, use them every day, and they have all been reliable and robust. From our point of view this is probably one of the best laptops made.
