This is a nice, clean MacBook that has been expertly cleaned and tested in our professionally equipped workshop.

Detailed description of condition:

Please see photos of the actual laptop for a clear view of all the surfaces of the laptop. A picture paints a thousand words, and we try very hard to provide photos that give an honest, detailed picture of the condition of the actual laptop in this listing. There are no cracks or missing parts, the hinges are in good working order and the keys/touchpad/buttons are all functioning correctly, as are all the ports. It has been thoroughly cleaned internally to remove dust and the thermal paste has been replaced as necessary.

Lid and base: Superficial cosmetic storage marks.

Screen and bezel: Good, bright image. No marks on the bezel.

Keyboard: Key caps are clearly visible with no significant wear.

Touchpad and buttons: Fully functional with no significant wear.

Wristrest: Very clean, no significant wear.

We rigorously test all our laptops to ensure that everything is working as it should and that all the device drivers are updated.

Includes a brand new charger and lead (UK). The battery is in working condition and holds a good charge.

UK postage only. 30 days warranty.
