I receive the item with the super drive damaged. But the price for replacing it was 15 bucks. It works fine. I can install it the lates OS El Capitan and run very well. I can't use the apple tv as a secondary monitor but I still be able to transfer the video to it. If you clean it its look very good with its white finish. Everything works fine and I want to use that as a tool for creating web sites and other graphis works.

if you want to get started with Apple (as I) this is a good, economical choice, though it was hard to find and is out of stock now. Sorry. :) This does NOT have USB 3.0, but can not be expected for price ($130). Has 250Gb hard drive, adequate. I replace the 2Gb RAM with the max of 8Gb (Amazon for $40), so $170 gives me an Apple; C grade means a couple of cracks, blemishes, but nothing bad. AND a white colored laptop is different and doesn't show DUST. LOL I wonder if Ebay sends a review request in a year/2years/3years? :)

While the base specs are old by 2016 standards, the Mid 2010 MacBook (White Unibody) still manages to do the most basic of tasks (e.g. browsing the Internet, office apps, light video editing) with little effort, especially when fully upgraded (8-16 GB RAM, SSD, clean OS X install). The polycarbonate unibody construction gives it a solid, durable feel while managing to maintain the signature clean look typical of Apple products. The keyboard, despite not having a backlight, is a joy to type on, and the trackpad is still the best you can find on any notebook, with intuitive gestures. Battery life is a realistic 5-7 hours with average use. The 10-hour battery life claimed by Apple can only be achieved if AirPort and Bluetooth are switched off, the brightness is as low as possible, power saving options are on, and light apps like word processing are used. There are a few known issues with this notebook, though. Chief among them is the rubber bottom: it can get dirty even with light use, and may unglue itself when the laptop is running hot. Fortunately it can be easily cleaned with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, and there is still a repair program available (as of this writing) should it need replacement. The top shell tends to get small hairline cracks near the hinge; a common issue. This can be easily rectified by covering it up with a case. It also tends to run very hot when performing more intensive tasks like gaming; a cooling pad is strongly recommended. Lastly, there is a noticeable lack of ports (FireWire, HDMI), though the Mini DisplayPort can output video and audio signals, and first/third party adapters and cables are available. Gaming performance is average; while Mac gaming is a lot better today than it was years ago, it still has room for improvement. Some games have very poor performance on OS X. Valve's Source Engine-based games, for example, tend to stutter regardless of what graphics settings you choose, though perform admirably well on medium to high settings in Windows 7 via Boot Camp. Games from 2007 and older can be played on high to ultra settings in Boot Camp as well (with the exception of Crysis 1, which runs fine on low to medium). While the Boot Camp partition can be upgraded to Windows 10, it's not worth the hassle as you will encounter a lot of driver issues. Despite some drawbacks, this is a solid notebook overall; an excellent choice for students, casual users, and anybody interested in learning how to use a Mac on a budget. Upgrading it to its fullest extent will give you a better experience compared to newer Windows-based laptops for the same price. Pros: + Solid construction + Upgradeable to 16 GB RAM, solid state drive, and the latest version of OS X (10.11 El Capitan as of this writing) + Decent battery life + Acceptable gaming performance via Boot Camp + Great keyboard + Excellent trackpad Cons: - Rubber bottom gets dirty easily, may unglue when hot (known issue) - Hairline cracks on the top case near the hinges (known issue) - Runs very hot when gaming or any intensive task - Lacks FireWire and HDMI ports - Boot Camp partition upgradeable to Windows 10, but will have driver issuesRead full review

The screen is in excellent condition. Brightness with a margin. And for some reason keys with inscriptions P and I are interchanged ??? The battery did not even need to be changed. A total of 246 complete recharges (86% capacity). On the HDD was preinstalled Yosemite beta. With 2Gb of memory and HDD, this MacBook is very slow. Especially because of insufficient RAM. If you put more RAM and faster drive, then you can install a modern operating system. I installed 8Gb RAM and 240Gb SSD, and this greatly accelerated the system. I hastened to remove Yoseimite beta c HDD and tried to install the release of Yosemite, or El Capitan, or Sierra from the flash drive - and could not install any of them. There were different errors after the installation. Then I performed the first stage of installing Sierra on a disk from a Macbook from another computer, and then transferred the disk to this MacBook and finished the second stage of installation on it. But Sierra worked with some lags in Safari, if you scroll through pages with a lot of graphics. So I updated Sierra to High Sierra from Apple appstore. The update went smoothly. During the first stage of the installation of High Sierra, the installer done the firmware upgrade. After installation, there were disproportionate fonts, and wifi disappeared mode n, only the modes a, b, g remained. I performed the reset nvram and the fonts again became proportional and smooth. And after clearing the caches of programms and the system, n mode wifi reappeared. I use GMYLE usb Bluetooth 4.0 (bcm20702) and the Continuity Activation Tool, to enable Continuity on this MacBook. Now everything works on this MacBook quickly and with Continuity capabilities on High Sierra, which is the newest OS from Apple. Therefore, I recommend buying this product, making it the necessary upgrade, and installing the High Sierra on it, because it is fast and the most modern. But do not let my mistake. Do not remove Yosemite directly from the HDD, it's best to immediately upgrade it to Sierra, or High Sierra. Probably this is due to the fact that this macbook requires firmware update, so that you can install newer operating systems. I publish a photo of the received goods and confirmation of my words.Read full review
