Selling My Old Workhorse (MB Pro)

15 years ago

I'm selling my first MacBook Pro. It was my first laptop, first Mac, and was my main workhorse for a little over a year before I picked up a newer unibody 15" MacBook Pro. I kept the old one around in case I found a use for it for something, but I really haven't. It's just sitting idle and unused and it's a shame because it's a really nice laptop that could be of great use to someone. It's produced a lot of comics for me and ran Photoshop very smoothly. It's been factory reinstalled and upgraded with Snow Leopard. Here's the quick rundown:

15" MacBook Pro (4,1)
2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB RAM
250GB HDD
Bluetooth
2 USB 2 ports
1 Firewire 400
1 Firewire 800
Dual-link DVI output
Built-in Webcam
Expresscard 34
DVD-R
OSX Snow Leopard
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT

Online estimates had it around $800, but I'm willing to part with it for less to move it along. Float me a line with offers and questions if interested!

What you're selling is what I'm running with, (though I upgraded the RAM to 4GB) and I can attest to it's resilience and fortitude. Whoever buys this is still getting a powerful machine. ;)

I'd planned to upgrade the RAM eventually and never got around to it.

seems like a decent rig for what your doing only question is did they give you an option for an i5 processor

This MacBook he's selling is at least a few years old, before they went with the UniBody designs. The i3, i5 and i7s didn't come out until this past January, I believe.

You should put the graphics card up there in the specs. People looking into buy a MacBook might also be into photo and video editing, as well as some gaming (with BootCamps of course).

Dude, do want. :< Been eyeing myself a laptop for a while now.
Shame I don't yet have a job. Could you do an installment plan type thing?

And yeah, previously mentioned, what's the graphics capability?

Updated with the graphic card data. What kind of payment plan can you do?

Awesome, Nvidia. :D

Well, starting in about a week, hopefully I can get you about a hundred per week for a couple weeks, then go up per week.
I have a few things I gotta take care of first, though. I'm definitely still interested. :3

Contact me later when you're ready to start paying (and how much you want to offer for it in total). If I haven't sold it by then, we'll talk.
