Love my new Mac!
4 of 4 found this helpful The A1342 Mac I received is truly good as new on the inside! I got this computer because I needed something more low-key and user-friendly than the PC I got for uni. The unit I received has minimal cracks (hardly noticeable) around the hinges and it was a little scuffed on the bottom but a good wipedown resolved that--it's honestly a beautiful machine and I LOVE the white. It's a little heavier than I was used to BUT still impressively light for being almost a decade old! My unit could hold a charge for about 2 hours, which is also impressive but I may replace the battery myself at some point. :) It came with Sierra and I don't think I'll upgrade to High Sierra to save some space/RAM/to avoid any compatibility issues. The computer takes about a minute to start up but other than that, it truly runs good as new. It's speedy and the display is gorgeous compared to my 2016 PC! I think going with 8GB RAM was a good move.
I truly think this is as good as it comes if you're looking for one of these older MacBooks! It's an INCREDIBLE value ($250 for a computer that runs as well as a $1200 one, albeit heavier and without the insane battery life of newer Macs). I've gotten used to the weight (it isn't too bad and the computer is still sleek) and it's become my primary computer. After I replace the battery, I may not go back to my PC aside from when I have to for PC-specific programs for school).
