Title: Cheap NM Macbook-TLHH Discount :)
Post by: Doom on August 11, 2011, 12:41:18 PM

Anyway, my main computer is broken in the shop for repairs, and I'm trying to sell off my aluminum macbook 13".

This mac is near-mint, has a 500GB hard drive, OS X Lion, iWork and iLife.

You can see everything here:

BUT if you PM me, or email me and say you're from TLHH, and you're willing to do a direct PP, I can knock off $100 or something like that. Anyway, TLHH members will get a big discount. Feel free to PM me offers as well.

This is a really great laptop. The only reason I'm selling is I need to go back to windows. But if mac's your thing, you can't go wrong with this.

NOTE: My 600+ 100% positive feedback speaks for itself. ;)

You can run Windows on your Mac though.  Good luck with the sale.

Thanks. I know that, but I'd prefer a decent PC that just runs windows.


I've gotten two good offers already, although both are a bit lower than I'd like. I've lowered the ebay listing's price, AND you'll still get the TLHH discount if you PM or email me. ;)

I have dropped the price again to just under $800. I won't be giving that $100 discount anymore, but if you are seriously thinking of buying this laptop, feel free to give a reasonable offer.

Cheeeeeers

i am interested in getting a mac, but for what i need it for, i'm going to be looking at a macbook pro, and hopefully one of the higher-end pro's. the 2GB ram just isn't quite enough for the media applications i would use it for.

It's upgradeable to 4gb, for not too much either.

This particular unit has gotten pretty high marks, and was kind of the brid between the plastic macbook and the new aluminum macbook pros. The nVdia 9400 GPU is great as well, and pretty much can handle most media apps/editing software.
According to http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-9400M-G.11949.0.html, the 9400 in this unit is 5x faster than the older macs, for whatever that's worth.

But if you need to do crazy high-end video editing and stuff, go for the new pro with sandy bridge.

yeah, right now it is mostly music that is in the foreseeable future. but i'm very much trying to do some more video work, i edited a little documentary on an old PC.... shoot me now... i swore that the next time i did ANY video work it would be on the best junk i could get my hands on. its just not worth sitting through hours upon hours of rendering and crashes etc...

most likely i'll wait until i'm about to graduate college so i can still use my student discount.

Mk. :D

Well this can handle all your video work for sure, as I'm in to that stuff. But you may want to go for the new sandy bridges. Those are SWEET! (and expensive.)

Feel free to PM me an offer anyways if you'd like. I've had two or three now, but I'm more inclined to let this go for a bit lower than I'd like now.
