Apple MacBook MC207LL/A Notebook Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz 13.3" Wide XGA 2GB Memory DDR3 1066 250GB HDD 5400rpm DVD±R/RW NVIDIA GeForce 9400M

Pros: Great price, runs really quick after installing a new SSD and ram upgrade!

Cons: Came beaten, scuffed up, space bar barley works, and cord is disgustingly colored black from soot...

Other Thoughts: I am not usually one to complain about things, it is refurbished after all. Initially i was content with the outsides of the laptop being scuffed, but then i noticed some major dents around the rim of the screen. These plus the fact the keyboard barley works makes me unhappy on the purchase.

I would like to return the thing but i needed a laptop quick! Keeping progress rolling on a developer project, my iMac quit functioning properly. If i returned it id be even further behind, but it's highly tempting... this things beaten up and the charging unit/cord (supposed to be white) is almost black from being thrown around so long.

Pros: It works I haven't had an opportunity to work with it much.

Cons: I arrived in a beat up box and was absolutely filthy. Had hair of some type all over it and was sticky. There is also a line across the screen that will not clean off. It also has bad pixels in the center of the screen.

Other Thoughts: When I think referb fixed not completely used and returned. I feel this was a bad purchase and would not suggest it to anyone.

Pros: Case was tired, monitor perfect, and it seems all right on initial launch

Cons: After 2 hours, the machine died. Conveniently AFTER I had loaded a ton of business software prior to a business trip. Leaving me with jacks squat.

Other Thoughts: Very, very disappointed.

Pros: The MacBook is functionally perfect, and the screen looks new and so does the keyboard (i.e. no cosmetic imperfections or signs of use). The only thing I did out of the box was to replace the memory it came with, with two 4 GB SO-DIMMS (CORSAIR 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Memory for Apple Model CMSA8GX3M2A1066C7) which, of course, I ordered from NewEgg at a great price. Needless to say, the MacBook runs fast with the added memory. Considering this is potentially a three year old unit (a MacBook 6,1 - released late 2009), it's speed is definitely usable and I intend to upgrade it to Mountain Lion (i.e. Apple's site indicates that it qualifies).

Cons: As mentioned, the refurbished unit is functionally perfect and arrived with the screen and keyboard showing no cosmetic imperfections or signs of wear. However, the outside of the case and the screen cover are a different story. The bottom of the case has discolored yellow blotches on it, as well as a red area where it looks like someone tried to wipe the case bottom (the case bottom is actually a removable cover) with a red cloth trying to clean something off the case bottom. Also, the top of the case has many minor scratches. Overall, you can tell this was a used item that has been functionally refurbished, but not cosmetically. I didn't expect this from a NewEgg sales offering.

Other Thoughts: I re-read NewEgg's definition of a refurbished product, and while it implies that a product may have been used, it doesn't say that unit may be delivered with cosmetic imperfections and/or non-functional blemishes. Also, I interpreted the description as implying that the unit is refurbished by the manufacturer... That lead me to believe that these were units refurbished by Apple. I've purchased Apple refurbished products in the past and they looked and functioned as if they were new. So, that's the type of product I thought I was going to receive. While I intend to keep this unit because it's 100% functional, I don't think I will buy another refurbished product from NewEgg.

Pros: Obviously, it's an Apple.

Cons: Scratches
Greasy smudges
Looks like junk. You can't shine junk just by sticking an Apple on the lid.

Other Thoughts: The word "refurbished" does not mean "not refurbished." Mine came with a horizontal scratch mid-screen. The scratch was at least three inches long, probably a bit longer. Newegg really has to rethink its computer return policy for customers who have proven their loyalty. This was a disgrace--and I haven't even mentioned the laptop lid. It looked like a gorilla threw it around a room.

Pros: Very easily upgradeable. Runs Windows 7 in 64bit using bootcamp. I installed an Intel 530 Series SSD in this computer. It boots up Lion incredibly fast and Windows launch is also far superior to my Dell Laptop. I highly recommend this machine... great little machine to do iMovie and iDVD projects.

Cons: I am not sure you can upgrade this to Mountain Lion. Check with Apple. That is the only reason why I took an egg away.

Other Thoughts: According to Apple's Documents, it's upgradeable to 3 GB of RAM. To my surprise; after installing 2 x 2 GB PC2-6400 @ 800 MHz Kingston memory, the machine was able to recognize 4 GB.

Pros: I love this thing. I have two other PC's and this beats both of them hands down. $30 bucks and two hours later I had Lion install. One night of learning/playing and I have all the basic figured out already. I am keeping my PC's, but I think it will be Mac when it comes to any new computers.

Cons: The power cable could be longer, but its really not a complaint since the battery life is over 7 hours.

Other Thoughts: I wish I bought a Mac years ago.

Pros: Exactly as described.
Worked great out of the box.

Cons: Only wish is that it had OSX Lion. But easily remedied

Other Thoughts: A great buy. A few scuff marks on the lid but only noticeable in certain light. Works great.
