Any interest in a Macbook?

Drew_TNBD

My wife has a Macbook. From 2007 I believe, it's a Core 2 Duo. It's sat in a corner for the past year, not being used. She wants to sell it for cheaps.

4GB DDR3 RAM.
320GB Hard Drive - currently blank.

Problems:

- Battery doesn't charge anymore. Will need a replacement.
- The charger adapter broke on us. Will need a replacement.
- No DVD drive in it anymore. It broke one day, and I removed it.
- You'll need to install OSX on the 320GB hard-drive, you can do this from a USB stick.
- You'll need to source a copy of OSX - Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion will work on this machine. Mountain Lion will not.
- It's a little scratched up, and the screen is kinda dark these days. But it does work.

Other than that, it works okay. Would suit someone just needing a little thing to write with, or as a portable recording solution. Still has some life left in it I'm sure, but we both use Windows laptops these days. I used this Macbook recently when I was building a Hackintosh, I borrowed a friends Macbook charger to get it powered up, and I built my Hackintosh USB stick from there, so that is how I know it works fine.

Would only be asking £120. Collection preferred, as that will give you a chance to inspect it to be sure you're happy.

I've got one of these with Mountain Lion on it. 

Still quite usable as an everyday machine.

I had one of these with Lion on it.  Some arsewipe broke in to my car and stole my stuff while I was out in a park one day.  They didn't nick the car, which was some consolation, but I also chipped a bone in my wrist the same afternoon so generally just had a bad day.  Insurance sorted it out for cash but stupidly about a decade's worth of photos were lost as I hadn't backed them up.  

I'm sure the 'new owner' is happy with their machine, these work fine and are powerful enough to do quite a lot.

That sucks Max

This version wont run ML, I did try. Lion was as high as  could go. My Hackintosh is on Mavericks though

Sorry accidental "Mountain" 

You are quite right Lion is as high as it will go.

It's going in the bin if no-one wants it! £80 collected from North London.
