Good condition Macbook Pro 17? for Sale


-Massive 17? 1920x1200 Display - Rare Anti-glare matte coating for deeper blacks - No dead pixels

-2.53 GHz i5 processor

-250GB SSD Storage - Faster read and write times than normal HDD

-8GB RAM

-512MB NVIDIA GeForce DT 330M

-USB, Firewire, Ethernet, mini display and PCI ports so no adapters needed like the new MacBooks!

-Newest OS X - El Capitan already installed. Brand new clean install, very speedy.



I?ve been using the laptop up until last week for 3D Animation, video editing and photoshop work. It can still handle all the latest software, play HD movies and browse the web just fine so you shouldn?t have any problems.



Problems:

I do like to be totally upfront with issues when I?m selling anything:


DVD Not working - The DVD drive stopped working around 2 years ago, I?ve been quoted around ?40 for a new one to be fitted but for me it wasn?t a issue, it?s been years since I?ve wanted to use a DVD in my laptop and the new Apple MacBooks don?t even include a DVD drive.


Battery Life - The battery again is slightly showing its age, I can get around 1-2 hrs charge out of it currently, depending on what I?m doing, which is down from the 3-4 hrs I used to get when it was new. Again, if it?s a issue later on batteries are available on eBay for a small sum.


Charger cable worn - The charger cables on this model are notorious for getting damaged on the end where the cable bends and this one is no different unfortunately. It is taped up at the moment and still works fine, but they do sell them for around ?20 on eBay if you want to purchase a new one in the future.



Apart from these issues, which are all very common in this model of this age, it is in great condition. Always been kept in a case when travelling, no marks or scratches, all the keys working correctly and no dead pixels on the screen. It?s still plenty fast enough to keep up with HD video editing, photoshop editing or just normal browsing and watching films on it?s giant screen!



Viewings, testing and collection from my office, very close to Shoreditch High Street Station, any week day from 9:00am - 7pm or from my house in Forest Hill 7pm-9pm. Cash on collection. Price ?500, couldn?t find one on eBay for lower.

Hi David, having researched all the statistics, it sounds like you have a mid 2010 model. You've said that the DVD drive no longer works and that you've been heavily using it for animation/photo editing. This all suggests that you're starting to have trouble with the graphics card (it happened to me)2010 MacBooks with 512 Nvidia graphics cards are notorious for having problems. You can have the graphics card replaced, but that's likely to cost well over ?100. I'd be happy to offer you ?350 for it, that's in the knowledge that the graphics card will soon need replacing. Thanks, Will.

Hey Will, Yep I think this was a 2010 model but I haven't been having any issues with the graphics card, in the first year of me owning it there was a issue with the fan on the graphics card, however this was repaired and replaced under apple warranty at the store in Covent Garden, haven't had another problem with it in the last 4 years. I'm still looking for close to ?500 for it, this particular spec usually sells around ?600-700 on eBay.


Please also note the laptop is sold with a brand new OS X install so it's fresh for the buyer to use, there's no animation software included.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
