This is the final evolution of the 17-inch MacBook Pro; more than a decade later, Apple still hasn't made another one this large. I've found an unusually pristine one and loaded it with a lot of new parts to make it more competitive with new workstations.

Cosmetically this is nearly perfect, with only a few very minor scuffs. It looks like it's barely been used and the battery bears this out with only 31 charge cycles on it. It's really strong for a 12-year old battery on a 17" laptop, getting a couple of hours easy although obviously battery life depends on load. Functionally everything is working as it should.

I replaced the original HDD with a much faster 240 GB SSD, and replaced the DVD drive with a 1 TB HDD meant for storage. I also maxed out the RAM to 16 GB, and filled the ExpressCard slot with a flush-fitting USB 3.0 card that provides two more USB ports roughly ten times faster than the stock ones.

Includes original 85W MagSafe adapter. Can't send this to anywhere but Canada and the USA because of restrictions on shipping items with lithium-ion batteries.

You're looking at an independent, one-person operation. That's why I can take my time testing items and fixing them up. It's how I make sure you get what you need. I'm an oldschool ebay seller with fourteen years of experience, and I stand behind my listings.

Most of my items are secondhand finds. I rescue artifacts from the wild and pair them with people who'll love and take care of them. If you're searching for something you don't see here, let me know. I have a ton of sources.

The shipping quotes listed are economy and middle-range shipping options. If you're interested in priority courier services, ask me for a custom quote.

I ship everywhere. If eBay's shipping calculator doesn't show a shipping rate for your country, message me and I'll get you one.

I pack very securely in thick cardboard containers, custom-built for each item. Anything even slightly delicate will be secured with shock-absorbent foam. If I'm shipping something that breaks easily, like glassware or a boombox, I'll double-box it with two ridiculously thick layers of padding.
