2008 Macbook 13.3" 2.4ghz w/ Firewire Port

No trades...

Purchase new by my wife in 2008.
This is the last model of MacBook that featured a Firewire port. These are fantastic for people who need to record via Firewire at gigs, or recording remotely, or at home. In order to get this now you have to go up to a MacBook Pro.
The machine's been used around the house and traveled with her to E3 once a year since she's had it. It hasn't been traveled around by a road warrior or anything, but it does have some swirling, etc on the top and bottom which is impossible to photograph.

2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB Memory (supports up to 8GB)
160GB Hard Drive
8x SuperDrive
One FireWire 400 Port
Two USB 2.0 Ports
Built in Wireless
SN: W8815MQR0P1

Power specifics info: 222 Cycles Condition Normal
4347 - Charge Remaining MAh
4730 - Full Charge Capacity MAh

Link to Specs on this specific model: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP5

Hard Drive will be wiped and Zero'd out, and a fresh unbooted copy of OSX Snow Leapord installed on it, so will boot like a brand new one.

Only nitpick thing I can find on it is small crack marks on the front palm areas where the top bumpers on the lid make contact when you close the lid. One has been superglued and has not moved at all since. Some checking on areas of these is fairly common. I provided close up photo's of the area just to be entirely forthgiving.

$375 shipped and insured.

bump for you and maybe a correction... Current Mac Book Pro's carry a Firewire 800 port.

Ok... Yes... All Macbook PRO's have had Firewire ports. The "Macbook" line (which this is rather than a Macbook Pro) had the Firewire port removed "after" this model because musicians were buying them rather than the higher end model.

what's the model number? it's kinda hard to see, but i think it's on the bottom near the serial number. poss starts with A

stflbn · #6 09-20-2011, 11:27 AM

System Profiler is showing: MacBook4,1

Serial Is: W8815MQR0P1

Here's a link to Apple Spec's based on that Serial Number:
