What's on this page?
The 15" MacBook Pro was introduced to replace the venerable PowerBooks, ushering in the new era of Intel processors on a Mac laptop. If you're using OS X exclusively and you're a bit of a power user, a certified pre-owned MacBook Pro (also known as a used MacBook Pro or reseller refurbished MacBook Pro elsewhere) is the way to go (the smaller, slower MacBooks are worth considering as well). If you still need OS 9 (or prefer a built-in modem), then the PowerBooks are worthy machines.
Also, don't forget to consider the 17" version of the MacBook Pro... the extra screen size often more than makes up for the slightly heavier load.
Since chip makers are having a difficult time increasing the speed of their chips, they are building additional "cores" into them, allowing for greater speed. The MacBooks come with two cores, with the difference between Core Duo and Core 2 Duo being a larger L2 cache and other technologies that enhance the speed (not something that you'll notice in most applications a great deal, however). Otherwise, the models are all very similar, with similar battery life and networking, and of course Magsafe power connectors, scrolling trackpads, and integrated iSight video cameras.
General Specifications:
- RAM: PC2-5300 DDR2
- Maximum RAM: 2 GB in two slots. Models with Core 2 Duo up to 2.33 GHz: 3 GB max. Models with GeForce 8600M GT video: 4 GB max.
- Display resolution: 1440x900
- Supports an external display at a maximum resolution of 2560x1600
- 1 FireWire 400 port, later models added a FireWire 800 port
- 2 USB 2.0 ports
- Airport Extreme and Bluetooth standard
- ExpressCard/34 Expansion slot
- Ethernet: 10/100/1000 Base T
Advantages of a pre-owned MacBook Pro:
- A great value for power users using the latest software
- Built-in iSight camera
- Reliable design and architecture
- For all but the most demanding applications, an Intel-based laptop will handle most current apps with ease
- A smaller percentage depreciation. With most of the depreciation taken out of these machines already, they'll retain their purchase price value for some time to come
- A workhorse machine designed to last for years
Our guarantee:
Our Pre-Owned MacBook Pros come with a 90 day warranty and two additional guarantees: First, if it arrives and isn't working as it should, we'll pick it up* and replace it at our expense (some conditions apply). Second, if at any time in the first 90 days of the purchase of a pre-owned Mac you wish to trade it in, we will guarantee you the FULL purchase price value you paid toward the purchase of anything else we sell. You can't lose with us!
*Does not apply to in-store or will call orders
