Apple MacBook Pro 13" Early 2015 2.7GHz (Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz) Dual Core i5 8GB RAM 2TB SSD
with Integrated/On-Board Graphics:
|
British Backlit Keyboard (UK English)
Upgraded to the latest and up to date 14.4.1 Sonoma MacOS. Can downgrade it to the earlier MacOS back till High Sierra, if required.
This MacBook Pro was not in much use hence only 410 battery cycle count from new. It is in Very Good Condition and Guaranteed Perfect Working Order, with a few minor marks to the edges of the lid and of the top case (palm rest), one tiny dent to the front edge of the lid and a few small surface marks/scratches to the base cover.
The screen is in good condition, with the anti-glare coating intact, and has a tiny bit of delamination around webcam, a bit of very light keyboard marks, and a couple of superficial scratches as shown in one of the pictures, which are only visible when the screen is off/black and not when the screen is on and therefore have no effect on the screen performance. The screen has no chips and no dead pixels.
The charger is in good condition and full working order. The outer shell of the cable got a bit yellow but is not frayed.
See the pictures of the actual Apple laptop for sale.
Supplied in the official Apple box although not original but from the same year model, with the original Apple MagSafe 2 charger, UK AC Wall plug, UK Extension lead, and a Welcome pack.
From a pet & smoke free home.
The MacBook Pro is factory reset with the fresh install of the latest and up to date 14.4.1 Sonoma MacOS. If you require an earlier MacOS, like Ventura, Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave or High Sierra please advise at the time of payment and I will downgrade it with the fresh install of your required MacOS.
This is a good specification MacBook Pro with the powerful 2.7GHz Intel Dual Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz.
The storage capacity was upgraded to a massive 2TB and can still be maxed up to 4TB unlike later models which you can not upgrade.
Apart from the upgradable storage this model also proved to be much more reliable than the later touch bar models with problematic keyboard and limited to USB-C connectivity requiring lots of adaptors. This model offers wide variety of connectivity: USB, HDMI, Thunderbolt, SDXC Card plus many others with the use of adaptors.
All in all it is an excellent and powerful, with the high reliability record machine.
This Early 2015 model is well known as the best Apple ever built, reason why the latest 2021 14" MacBook Pro has lots of similarities with it (scissor switch keyboard, connectivity, MagSafe magnetic power connector, etc); although its reliability is yet to be tested with time. 2016 - 2020 MacBook Pro models have proved unreliable/unpopular, mostly because of the fallible butterfly keyboard and limited connectivity. Plus if you are using an older software, you won't notice much difference in performance between the Early 2015 and 2021 models. So why pay more?
Payment as offered by eBay via PayPal or Card only which will be verified before the laptop is dispatched.
No outside of eBay deals, no scams please!
Collection is welcome or it will shipped fully insured with the Royal Mail Special delivery or with the UPS next day courier service for the UK and the 3-7 working days courier service for Europe with the Global Shipping Program provided by eBay, subject to customs processing time (it is normally fast with the Global Shipping Program provided by eBay).
I am an IT professional specialising in MacBook Pros. All of my Macs for sale are thoroughly checked & tested and are in perfect working order guaranteed.
For additional peace of mind I offer 30 days return to base warranty, obviously on the condition that the laptop is returned in the exact same condition, in the original packaging and with no signs of misuse.
I also offer 12 months after sales support with unlimited free repairs when buyer pays both ways shipping and parts (if required).
However taking into account thorough checks and diagnostics done before the Mac is listed for sale on eBay and the fact that this model is well known as the best Apple ever built, I doubt you will ever need any; and I am sure this MacBook Pro will serve you for many years if taken a good care of.
