Apple MacBook Pro 17 Core i7 2.66GHz 8GB RAM 512GB SSD New Battery & MS Office

  

Apple MacBook Pro 17 Core i7 2.66GHz 8GB RAM 512GB SSD. New Battery & MS Office. A MacBook in good used condition with a 17 screen and a patched installation of MacOS Sonoma. This offers a cost-effective way of experiencing a more up-to-date version of MacOS, as well as offering the ability to use apps which otherwise would not be accessible with an older operating system.

It has been thoroughly cleaned, tested for full functionality and will be ready for use out of the box. Patched installation of MacOS Sonoma. No cracks in screen, no play in hinge, no missing screws or feet.

Good used condition (please see images). Please feel free to ask any questions if you need further information. The MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.66 17-Inch (Mid-2010) technically is a "configure-to-order" configuration of the MacBook Pro "Core i5" 2.53 17-Inch (Mid-2010), but also is documented as a separate model for reader convenience. Other than processor, these two models are identical.

The MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.66 17-Inch (Mid-2010) is powered by a 32 nm, dual-core 2.66 GHz Intel "Core i7" I7-620M (Arrandale) processor, with dedicated 256k level 2 cache for each core and an 3 MB shared level 3 cache. This system also supports "Turbo Boost" -- which "automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload" -- and "Hyper Threading" -- which allows the system to recognize four "virtual cores" or threads.

By default, it is configured with 8 GB of DDR3 SDRAM installed in pairs (two 2 GB modules), a 500 GB solid state drive, an 8X DL "SuperDrive", and dual graphics processors -- a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 512 MB of dedicated GDDR3 memory and Intel HD Graphics with 256 MB of RAM shared with the system -- that Mac OS X automatically switches between for better graphics performance and better battery life, respectively, depending on application use. Connectivity includes AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, a Firewire "800" port, three USB 2.0 ports, optical digital/analog audio in/out, a "Mini DisplayPort" that supports an external display at 2560x1600 (it also passes an audio signal), and an ExpressCard/34 slot. It lacks an SD card slot. This model uses a "Unibody" aluminum case design -- milled from a single piece of aluminum -- and has a backlit keyboard and a new "no button" glass "inertial" multi-touch trackpad. Compared to its predecessor, this model has a very similar external enclosure, but an enhanced trackpad, and the same connectivity, except for the enhanced audio passing Mini DisplayPort.

Internally, however, it has a substantially different architecture with a faster "Core i7" processor and faster graphics as well, although it shares the same memory. Battery life is improved too.
