Bought the little refurbished Mac because it has a CD drive. I needed a CD drive to install & use some old software. The Mac was nice enough but after I worked hours on installing my stuff - the battery wasn’t holding its charge. I pulled up the battery status bar and it showed that it needed to be replaced. I guess that a battery is not part of “refurbish” ??? I ended up buying a new battery & installing myself. It was a pain. I could return the Mac but after spending hours on the install.... I just couldn’t do it. I contacted the company thru EBAY about the battery issue ... They reimbursed me for the cost on my replacement battery. Overall I’m happy but I should not have had to do surgery.

I got this product as an outsider to Apple and Macbooks and when I did, I was quite worried since for the same price you can get notebooks that are lighter, equipped with better CPUs, faster and larger HDD's and so on. But I guess it takes a MacbookPro to learn that half of the Apple experience is related to build quality and style. And for that, this entry-level MacbookPro, launched with great components and best-deal price, is perfect. The LCD backlit TFT is not only responding instantly, but it's also covered with a thin glass layer as protection. The builtin webcam has a great wide-angle lens, great colors (for a webcam). The built-in microphone has perfect quality. All the inputs and outputs are ergonomically placed, the keyboard is backlit so that you can work in the dark without disturbing anyone else. Sure, the computing performance is good too, but he primary here is comfort while working and productivity, since a Mac user will likely be more concerned with productivity and enjoying multimedia aspects, rather than heavy-duty gaming. For this, the new MB990LLA rocks!Read full review
Just a quality piece of tech. Nothing else needs to be said

I think with this model, there is no need to buy the higher end 13 inch MBP. The processor clock speed is minimal and the hard drive and memory components can be upgraded easily with this computer. Overall, weight, battery life and construction quality is very good. The only complaint I have is the glossy screen, but I believe under the right light settings and some time getting used to it, it should be fine. Do note that all the ports are on one side (left side), and you will need a mini display port cable or adapter to connect this computer to an external monitor.
Came as described, in great shape for a 11 year old computer. Minor scratches on the outside. It does have a little bit of screen burn but thats expected out of a a computer this old. I maxed out the ram at 8Gb's and put in a Samsung 860 SSD. Upgraded it to Catalina and it runs great. Overall very satisfied. (Catalina isn't supported on this Macbook but you can still download it. I found the instructions on YouTube. All you need is a USB drive.) Thanks!
