Apple MacBook Pro 15.4" Laptop - MA895LL/A (June, 2007)

My Mac died over the summer and I tried to limp along with an old Windows laptop for a few months, but I just couldn't stand it any longer. You know what they say--Once you go Mac, you never want to go back. Apple has a long reputation for well-designed, well-built computers and this one is no exception.

Although this laptop is a few years old, it's still reasonably fast and it can run the latest version of Mac OS X. This particular MacBook Pro looks almost identical to its Powermac G4 predecessors, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I didn't think I'd like the glossy screen, but it turns out I like it very much. Surprisingly, it doesn't have much of a glare problem at all.

One nice feature of the MacBook Pro line is the MagSafe power adapter, which attaches to the computer magnetically. It's designed to break away easily to keep from damaging the plug or pulling the computer off the table. The only downside to this design is if--like the computer I have--the battery doesn't work. Without the battery, the computer, of course, shuts down instantly and you lose any saved work. A replacement battery solves the problem easily and isn't terribly expensive on eBay.

Like many recent Apple products, repairing and upgrading a MacBook Pro isn't the easiest thing in the world. The RAM slots are user accessible--provided you have the proper size Torx screwdriver--but that's about it. Getting inside the case to replace the hard drive or optical drive requires removing about a dozen tiny Torx screws to more or less completely disassemble the unit. Mine is old enough that voiding the warranty isn't an issue, but that is a consideration on a newer one. If you must undertake this chore, detailed instructions with copious photographs are available at ifixit.com.

When it comes to excellent design, system stability, and ease of use, it's hard to beat a Mac, even a used one.

It is not as described, it was said that you had to keep rebooting , buit the hard drive is destroyed and it will cost me over $300,.oo just to look at. not adding what it cost me to buy it from you. which was $480.00. the mac computer specialist said it might cost me more when they really get into it. so this is a rip off.

I'm lly2560.I'd like to prefer this product because Size/weight:Good and it performance fast.I bought it a less money. I loved it .Thanks .

I have been a MAC user for a long time. I own an iMac and a Macbook Pro.
Apple products are honestly made of top quality materials and they always last way longer than Windows. Macs have the fastest responding time and are very user friendly. Whatever you need is just one click away. The touchpad is really smart, too. Although there are many people say Mac is bad and expensive for no reason, it's because most of them have not used one for a while. You can use a mac for a long time without needing to restart it or shut it down. Also over the past years that I have been using Mac neither on my macbook pro and iMac it has crashed. I know it is more expensive than Windows, but it honestly pays for itself. Don't be afraid and invest your money on something that will hold its value for a long time and you don't have to be afraid of any crashes or anything. If you still need to use windows, you can have windows on it too! so there are no other excuses ;)
But seriously a mac will keeps its value always high. You can still sell a 6 year old macbook more expensive than a windows laptop that you but today!!
Just buy it, I guarantee you won't regret it. Don't listen to windows lovers, because they are yet to experience MAC!!!

It's a Mac, it's got a 15-inch screen, and the keyboard is backlit. What's not to like? Plenty of RAM, fast processor, decent graphics chip. Perfect!
