Battery Health Information

This device is equipped with a battery at 50-59% health capacity. Battery health at this level means the battery can only hold 50-59% of its original charge capacity. You will experience noticeably shorter runtime compared to a new device—most users can expect 2-4 hours of moderate use before requiring a charge. This unit is best suited for users who primarily work from a desk or have regular access to power outlets. Whilst the battery still functions fully, keeping the MacBook plugged in during extended work sessions is recommended for optimal performance. Battery replacement services are available if you wish to extend the device's portability in the future.

macOS Operating System: Advantages & Considerations

Advantages of macOS:

macOS delivers an intuitive, aesthetically refined interface paired with powerful performance. The operating system benefits from Apple's closed-system design, which ensures exceptional hardware-software integration, translating to faster performance and longer device lifespan compared to many alternatives. macOS features robust built-in security protections with fewer virus threats, excellent built-in applications including Mail, Calendar, and iPhoto, and accessibility features such as VoiceOver and Zoom that support users with disabilities. The stunning Retina display technology provides exceptional colour accuracy and visual clarity—a key reason the creative industry favours Apple products.

Considerations with macOS:

Compared to Windows systems, macOS has a more limited selection of third-party applications and games. Some specialised software may not be available for macOS. The closed hardware system means limited upgrade options compared to Windows-based devices. Additionally, Mac computers command a premium price point relative to comparable Windows alternatives.

Excellent vs Good Condition Grade

For this MacBook Pro model, the distinction between grades is important:

Excellent Grade: Displays evidence of very light previous use only, with minor scuffing or abrasions barely noticeable. Keyboard shows only light wear from standard use. Screen is free of scratches, cracks, dead pixels, or discoloration.

Good Grade: Shows more visible scratches and wear, including heavier keyboard wear. May feature small dings or dents on the cover and small paint chips or hairline cracks in the bezel. Screen may have subtle blemishes or light scratches but remains fully functional with no cracks.

Both grades are fully functional with identical performance. The grade reflects cosmetic condition only, not operational capability.
