Had enough left on my gift card to get this for free (gift card was free, so it counts!) Needed a new one to hold my media credentials.

Well, it's not free. But I had the opportunity to purchase this machine for €50,- with the charger!

It needed a reinstall (10.8.4) and was good to go. When I was looking for the serial number I found the sticker saying " Apple Certified Reconditioned". So, it must have been a refurbished Mac.

2.5Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB DDR2
200GB HD
Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT 512MB

It works well. It might need more ram and an SSD and a new topcase since some keys don't work.

Ah well, It's just for fun.

These are still the best notebooks Apple has designed imo.

What I've been given

I recently been given a mouse for my ibook G4 now I am looking for a 2008 model MacBook white or black as I cannot afford a new one. I have a mild intellectual impairment with a learning disability. I am looking to see if anyone has one of these preloved white or black macbooks that are free to a good home. I had plans to get a few then rebuild one so that I can use it to suit my needs. My brother doesn't let me use his computer but I sneak any way, he upgraded his operating system to windows 8 I found it too complicating and hard to use so I've gone back to using my ibook. So now I'm looking around every where to see if anyone is giving away one of these black or white macbooks for free to good home.:)

I'm looking every where for a free MacBook of some sort, as the software I want to use I can't put on my ibook G4 for writing up my 1st Poetry book. I'm looking every where to see if anyone has a preloved, second hand, unwanted MacBook that someone no longer wants. The software I am after is ibook author I can't install it on my brother's computer he won't let me and plus it only runs on a MacBook not an ibook G4. I have a mild intellectual impairment I got my ibook cheap on ebay in January last year it's still doing well. I've deleted a lot of junk off it that I did not want which has saved a lot of space. I am hoping for an upgrade one day,

A Macbook 5,2, Mid-2009. Its has some fluid damage. The mouse button doesn't work and one of the ram slots make it crash if there's a module in it. Otherwise it runs decently. Oh and the top cover is cracked.

Best Buy/Future Shop in Canada is doing this crazy trade-in promo for AC4, BF4, or COD:G - trade in ANY current gen game for one of them. Lined up for an hour and a half and traded NBA 2k9 for this haha.
