MacBook 12 Prices

Hey just wanted to make a quick guide to this, I uploaded a video doing a MB12 battery replacement & well it needs an article about it…

Quick & dirty, I’ll maybe re-edit this later.

  • 12 of these with either no hdd, as is, or closed screen (implies to me as broken). otherwise all of these machines have a drive and/or OS on them! EX+ is the last 3 sold at the highest price… however I fixed the later results on the specific searches πŸ™‚
  • 10 looking like they aren’t working/have drive. otherwise still spinnin rust. Price high to EX+ just jumps up literally the next result, with SSD & 8GB RAM. typically i reserve this at the last 2% sold (so 190-ish listing if 200 results), but really saw no point, as it was just lesser spec’d machines bought by someone impatient & might be in the same A+ condition
  • one result is the white MB, 3 without HDD. price sorta jumps to the high & EX+ both with SSD & 8GB ram equipped. No reaso to pay more.
  • 5 hour battery life
  • DDR3, 8GB Max
  • 60W magsafe 1
  • 10.11 El Capitan last OS w/o modding
  • 2x USB 2.0, Ethernet, mDP, Aux Jack, Kensington Lock
  • nVidia GeForce 9400M w/ 256MB ram
  • SATA II drives at 9.5mm (for all C2D MBs)

Aka Aluminum Unibody macbook. It’s NOT a MacBook pro, but it uses the design like them. This is when they did the unibody redesign & they made a more pricier macbook alongside with it. I don’t know much about these, but i dont think they are really compatible with MBP 13 parts, I’ve had some issues, like buying the correct battery. It says Macbook only on the bezel, not MBP, but lotta sellers put MBP to fucking make $$$ because they wont get clicks if they didnt put “pro” in the title. Only the 2.4GHz model has a backlit keyboard.

  • 7 without drive/for parts, 4 of which are “lot of” listings. otherwise these machines working, one “bad battery” in title (but expect to replace the battery anyways for normal use), but 2 have new or newly replaced batteries, 3 came with boxes (in mid/high), overall they are slow and have yellowing, or heavily used kb/pad. 3rd last result is EX+ price
  • 2 systems w/o drives, maybe 4 units without chargers. high price unit is with box & only had one bid.
  • 1 system w/o drive, none of the systems here or in the other 2 searches have the max ram of 6GB… guess nobody knows about that lol there is an EX+ at $145, but it doesn’t have SSD, 0 seller rating & its a stock photo w/ cracked software
  • About 20 or so systems w/ no hdd. 28 SSD systems, 26 8GB ram
  • 4.5 hour battery life
  • DDR2, 6GB Max (for fucking real?)
  • 60W magsafe 1
  • 10.11 El Capitan last OS w/o modding
  • 2x USB 2.0, 1x Firewire 400, Aux, mDVI, Ethernet,
  • nVidia GeForce 9400M w/ 256MB ram

These are the worst, the palmrest chips around the edge, the fucking keyboards have the notorious armpit smell. Clearly i hate these, quite a bit of them i’ve came across come in shite condition, but its bc they were from schools, with years of abuse.
