Vintage 🍏 Apple MacBook Early 2009 13.3"
Model: MacBook A1181 5,2

macOSX El Capitan 10.11 fresh install[last supported operating system; cannot be updated any further]
Will not run modern software such as Zoom, Google Meet, blackboard & most any modern applications, sync with modern iPhones etc.
VINTAGE - we will not accept returns on this vintage macbook - by purchasing you are aware this is a VINTAGE 13 year old mac.

[ NOTE - this MacBook can run Windows 10; there are guides out there to do so - we cannot help with this - google is your friend]
[It can also run Linux Mint, Fedora, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Elementary OS, Haiku, etc - we cannot help with this - google is your friend]

Some of these alternative OSes run well with little work, some require a little more work or extensive work searching to get audio to work and webcam to work.
(Windows 10 for example has issues with built-in audio speakers(but works great out of headphone jack).
Linux variations sound typically works fine from the start, but webcam requires some sleuthing for correct driver - [google is your friend]
Windows 10, Linux Mint, Manjaro, Fedora, Elementary OS etc all run much better/faster than OSX Lion does and all have an updated web browser that is usable unlike the older Safari/Chrome that is on this with OSX Lion. Also - burning a disc image of the OS you want to try on another computer to DVD is better than USB install for these older macs FYI! And in some cases 32-bit version is required - again - google is your friend.

OSX El Capitan 10.11. It is outdated and doesn't do the "internet" so well anymore. Wiping it clean and installing Windows 10, Ubuntu Linux, Linux Mint, Manjaro etc makes these far more usable.

Vintage, as-is, no returns.

May have minor signs of use due to age such as light scratches, dings, dents, dust , stickers, sticker residue, etc.
Typical of this model is "chipping" usually at the front edge of the laptop and sometimes around the bezel. These are VINTAGE laptops.
