Greetings all, I've been waffling on whether or not to sell my well-loved MacBook Pro, but a new MBP 15" from work has pushed me to decide to downsize to a 11" or 13" MBA as my personal/travel laptop.
This is an interesting beast. The good: * A 120GB Patriot Pyro SSD! With the SSD in place, it does fairly well live up to the promise of feeling like a new machine. Start up is quicker, but it is the application launches and navigation of the UI that have really impressed. To read more about it, go to: http://www.patriotmemory.com/product/detail.jsp?prodline=8&catid=85&prodgroupid=219&id=1136&type=17. Note that I will be 'downgrade' this to an upgraded 320GB 5400RPM hard drive. * 4GB of RAM The bad: * I would describe the aesthetic condition as fair. It suffered a drop years ago, slightly crinkling one corner. The right side of the case now has significant give and slight, ~1mm separation in a couple of spots. Note that this does NOT affect the functionality of any component. The screen, DVD drive, ports, etc. all work perfectly fine. Summary: * MacBook Pro A1226 / MacBookPro3,1 * 15" 1440x900 resolution screen * 2.2GHz T7500 C2D Santa Rosa * 120GB SSD UPGRADED!!! * 4GB RAM UPGRADED!!! * GeForce 8600M GT video card w/ 128MB VRAM * 8X DL "SuperDrive" * 802.11n wireless * 1 DVI, 2 USB 2.0, 1 FW800, 1 FW400, 1 S-Video out, digital audio in/out ports * Bluetooth * 10/100/1000 Ethernet * ExpressCard/34 slot * Non-OEM battery that holds 1.5-2 hours * 85W AC adapter To read more, go to: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-2.2-15-santa-rosa-specs.html $495 + shipping OBO.
