MINOR "ISSUE." SOLD AS-IS. READ CAREFULLY. This has been a great laptop since I purchased it, used. The only "issue" is a 1-pixel wide vertical gray line from top to bottom near the middle of the screen (it was like that when I bought it from the original owner), but that was never a problem for me because it is easy for me to ignore. Pix available on request. You can see the line in some of the photos, and in others it doesn't even show up. It depends on the background, on a white or light colored background it is invisible to my eyes. Other than that, the laptop functions perfectly. All of the keys, the trackpad, the mouse clicker, all of the ports, the bluetooth, wifi, optical drive, i-sight camera, EVERYTHING, works like the day it was made.
One time, while watching a movie, the video went all wonky, but after a forced shutdown, I removed and re-seated the RAM, and it has been fine ever since. The graphics processor in these MacBooks share RAM with the system, so I guess this makes perfect sense, and I have no reason to suspect that it was anything more than that. Cosmetically, I would rate it 9.5 out of 10, and that only because of some dirty-finger smudges on 3 or 4 keys that resist gentle cleaning. The are NO chips around the edges of the upper-half of the bottom case, which are so common among these MacBooks. Likewise, there are no cracks anywhere in the upper or lower case, only a few barely visible scuffs to be expected on a gently used laptop. There are no scratches on the glossy screen. The battery is in good shape, and when fully charged, will run the laptop 3 to 3.5 hours, under normal use. I am selling it because this past week I came across a nice 15" MacBook Pro, and I wanted a laptop with a larger screen, so now this one is up for sale. Comes with the original Apple 60W MagSafe charger in great condition, the original Apple battery which still holds 3 to 3.5 hours of charge. Has the original (upgraded) 250 GB hard drive, and 2 GB of RAM installed. Complete specs from Apple can be found at http://support.apple.com/kb/SP5 (according to Everymac.com this laptop will support up to 6 GB of PC2-5300 RAM, see http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/stats/macbook-core-2-duo-2.4-white-13-early-2008-penryn-specs.html). The production date for this laptop was the third week of July, 2008, so it's only about 3 1/2 yrs old. I will remove my personal files, then erase the HDD completely and perform a clean install of the OS. I will leave it to the next owner to set it up and then download and install the latest OS updates from the Apple website (free). I do not have the original box, nor the original discs, but I will include a retail copy of Snow Leopard, OSX 10.6, for FREE! I have done my best to describe the laptop and its condition as accurately as possible. No guarantees are expressed or implied, and the sale will be final - no return or refund for any reason. Shipping will be by USPS Priority Mail w/ insurance. Feel free to make an offer, but after checking eBay, I've seen a few go for a good bit more than I'm asking, so all in all, I think my price is fair.
