This is the MacBook Pro I bought new in March 2011. It's been a great laptop but now that I've moved away from local computing and working more in the cloud I don't need the memory or computing power I once did. I've taken care of it and done a few repairs over the years but it's not in mint condition. It had the logic board replaced in 2013 due to the well-known GPU issue and it's been running fine since. Below are the specs:
2.0GHz Core i7 16GB RAM 500GB HD 8x Superdrive Radeon HD 6490M graphics 85W power adapter included See complete specs <https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-i7-2.0-15-early-2011-unibody-thunderbolt-specs.html> on EveryMac.com. Cosmetically it has a few minor scuffs on the bottom, a few very small dings, and a couple rubber feet are missing. The screen is bright and clear, but after Apple replaced the screen it had slight variations in brightness long the bottom edge. Not really noticeable normally unless you have a solid color on the screen. Functionally it has a few issues that can be inconvenient depending on how you plan to use it. First, the built-in WiFi sometimes gets very slow or won't connect at all. It's intermittent and re-installing the OS didn't seem to affect it, so I've been working around it with a USB WiFi adapter (AC1200) that's much faster. Second, the battery is 6 years old so it obviously doesn't last the original 5 hours. I usually get about 1-2 hours depending on how heavily I'm using it, which is probably fine for most uses but has become limiting for me on the go. Third, the right side fan occasionally gets very loud (bearings?), especially if it's been sitting powered off for a long time. Once it's been running for a while it goes back to the normal whisper. Fourth, not necessarily a problem but a heads up, the Superdrive failed to read a burned backup DVD a few months ago, so I'm not sure if the laser is dirty or if the drive is failing. I very rarely use optical discs of any kind, and I popped a video DVD in and it read that fine, so I'm just mentioning it in the interest of full disclosure. And finally a tip from a 9-year user, the i7 MacBook Pros run *hot*. The bottom case acts like a giant heatsink so you probably don't want it sitting directly on your lap if you're doing anything CPU intensive :). Pictures are available upon request.
