"MacBook Creations" is the result of my passion for finely engineered hardware and software. I am a software engineer who has worked for Apple computer and lives in Silicon Valley near their Cupertino headquarters. My objective is to locate well-kept MacBook laptops, meticulously clean them down to the logic board level, apply hardware upgrades that let them perform on par with contemporary Apple offerings, and power them up with a multitude of Apple and Windows software.
I upgrade each MacBook with the newest, fastest RAM and hard disk drives available. I include an external Hard Drive for backup and data storage. A fresh OS is installed and updated to the maximum current version. A backup OS X installer is included on a USB Flash Drive.
All the Apple productivity and professional apps are installed as well as Office for Mac. Adobe CS6 is available. Because MacBook uses the Intel chip, Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate runs fabulously and includes Office 2013 Pro Plus. You can power-up your MacBook from a huge list of additional software listed below.
The number one objective of "MacBook Creations" is Quality. I expect my laptops to be "Apple Gems". I am proud of each one, and expect each to perform at the top of their class. They pass extensive Apple Hardware Tests, have a working recovery partition, and are endowed with power as well as style. You can be proud to own this laptop, whether for personal or business use, professionally or as a student.
Because of the excellence of my MacBooks, I know you will be genuinely pleased with your purchase. I offer 30-days of warranty which includes unlimited e-mail support to assist with any setup or questions you might have. I want your Apple experience to be enjoyable, and I faithfully represent the quality of Apple and the innovative spirit of Silicon Valley.
Gorgeous MacBook with Accessories
Apple Bluetooth Laser Magic Mouse
A fresh set of batteries is included to bring your Magic Mouse to 100% strength. Its laser technology is 20 times more precise than standard optics. Custom carrying pouch, Storage case and instructions included.
This wireless Apple Magic Mouse, while not new, works perfectly. Scrolling features make using Safari effortless. Fully functional with Windows 7 Ultimate (right-click after booting to wake it up). Retails for $69 from the Apple store.
Apple Infrared Remote
This MacBook comes with a New Apple Remote. It uses the IR sensor to control your Mac or Apple TV from a distance and has Volume +/-, Play/Pause, Back/Forward, and Menu buttons. It is incredibly useful with iTunes, GarageBand, iDvd, and high-end apps like SoundPro and Final Cut Pro, and many others.
Dynex USB External Hard Drive Enclosure
You get a New 500 GB hard drive with a Time Machine backup of Yosemite and your apps.
This New HGST high-performance laptop drive spins at 7200 RPM, is a light and thin 7mm thickness, and has a 32 MB cache. Most upgraded laptops use only 5400 RPM drives with an 8 MB cache.
The New Dynex Hard Drive Enclosure makes your data and backups easily portable and transferable to any computer. It can hold any standard 2.5" SATA laptop hard drive and operates at USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) or USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed, up to 10x faster) where supported.
SanDisk USB Flash Drive
This New SanDisk 16 GB Mini Cruzer Fit USB Flash Drive contains a bootable OS X 10.9 Mavericks installer, and the Apple Hardware Tests (press 'D' during bootup). It has almost 10 GB of free storage. You can burn the images to DVD if you need additional space. This mini-thumb can remain in the USB port without danger of breakage or interference when placing your MacBook in its storage sleeve.
Apple Genuine Battery & Replacement Battery
You get an almost unused Apple Battery with only 4 load cycles, rated at 99.1% capacity. The OS reports it will last over 4 hours under normal use when fully charged. The intensive graphics and sound of "Sky Gamblers" would run for 3+ hrs.
You also receive a New Replacement Battery with 59Wh rating, which is even higher than the Apple rating, but it will perform about the same or less than the Apple battery.
The OS reports that both batteries together will provide over 8 hours of usage but in practice you might get around 6 to 7 hours depending on the energy-intensity of the apps you run.
Apple Magsafe Charger
An as-New Apple Magsafe 60W Charger, in original box, with power extension cord and "duckbill" plug is included. Magsafe $79 from Apple Store. Battery $129.

Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate
The best PC is a MacBook!
Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus is installed with your Windows 7 Ultimate.
Your Windows PC and the Cloud
The MacBook is a top-performing Windows PC. Windows programs run very fast and will give you a delightful experience equal to or better than most laptops! A study in 2013 from PC management services company Soluto found: "The MacBook is the most expensive ... but if you’re looking for top reliability - the data is clear. MacBook is the best Windows PC on the market."
With your MacBook you may choose a cover to keep it protected when being transported or in your backpack. All of the Sleeves are Neoprene, "Brand New", with the exception of InCase, which is "Like New". The "Designer" sleeves are padded with soft fur inside. The "Zippered" sleeves have two pockets on the front which can hold Magsafe, USB sticks, Apple Remote, etc.
You may choose any or all of the software apps and programs shown. They are included at no extra cost. More than 125 GB of apps are available. Make your choices carefully so your MacBook will perform optimally. Of course a 1 TB hard drive is a huge amount of space, and AppCleaner can remove unwanted apps, but it is advisable to install only what you plan to use. After your purchase give me a list of your choices and I will tailor the machine exactly for you.
Tell me how many GB to use for Windows 7 Ultimate if you want it installed. Minimum recommendation is 40 GB and current setting is 120 GB. BootCamp Assistant can easily delete the Windows partition at any time.
"MacBook Creations" is all about quality and being the best. This MacBook is gorgeous, because almost every part is New! The top is absolutey shiny and glossy and no scratches at all can be seen. It comes with a 30-day warranty and can be returned for refund or replacement if there is any hardware failure. Because of the extensive setup and testing time, returns for any other reason are subject to a 10% restocking fee.
Note: Laptop disassembly during the warranty period voids the warranty.
While software does not have any express or implied warranty, it is my objective to help you maximize your pleasure and productivity with your MacBook. I will be happily available from Cupertino for unlimited email support during the warranty period to field any questions you have, or to provide advice or setup guidance.
Please feel free to ask me any questions you have at this time.
Where noted, Apple OS and software apps can be updated through the App Store. Microsoft Office for Mac is Volume Licensed. All other software is included for demo purposes only, and while fully functional, have no original disks, and may not be updatable without purchase from vendor. No warranty as to functionality of software is implied or intended, and you accept all direct and indirect risks of loss or damage by software usage.
This MacBook is truly a special, stylish, powerfully crafted laptop. You will save a lot of money and get a machine which is just like new, can perform with speed, has modern software, and matches up to the MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. Payment is expected within 2 days of purchase.
After your purchase, I will look for your message which gives me your choices for:
1. Keypad color
2. Choice of sleeve/case
3. List of software apps to install.
4. Size of Windows 7 Ultimate partition.
I will ship within two days of receiving your information. I need this time to install the OS and software, scan the entire disk with Symantec, make a full system backup to the External Drive, do final testing and verification, and box these items for shipping.
Thank you for choosing your Apple Gem from "MacBook Creations". Your beautiful MacBook is an outstanding choice designed to perform like a champ. You will be a satisfied owner. I will make sure of that!
