Additionally, just compare those 3 hours to a PC, which will run maybe 1.5 hours without charge. A slight disappointment: since the model I bought was used, the battery is at "Needs Replaced" status and only runs for a little over 3 hours without charge, instead of, what, 8 hours? I could really care less, since I mainly have it plugged in anyway. Although, it works well enough as is, so any updates they put out might not make too much of a difference. The only downside is that I'm not sure how much longer this system will be upgradable for a ll the new things Apple comes out with, since it is a 2010 model, but I'm hoping it will be compatible with all the future techy stuff or I'll be disappointed. The screen is big and sharp, no need to pay extra for retina when it's still fantastic compared to PCs. I can't stand other computers now, maybe that's a bad thing, but I'll have this one for a long time so that shouldn't make a difference. The specs had shown that this laptop came with 4 GB RAM, but it showed up with 8 GB! And to think, that was the only thing that might've kept me from buying this model. It came with Intel i7, OS 10.8 (I upgraded it to 10.8.4, no problem), 500 GB of space, 2.66 GHz, and an unexpected bonus. I bought this laptop for $750, and it was by far the best purchase for the money. Seller was great no issues just as promised will use again!

I have had PCs f or years and had to take them to computer shop to be cleaned and a referb to stay current even with virus protection. You cannot argue with this products reliability and performance. I was a PC and adroid person for many years because I thought apple was a bit too proprietary and cost prohibitive. Had Microsoft work already loaded by I find the apple programs just as user friendly and they allow for a bit more creativity. Computer was a couple of years old and a referb but it was loaded with great programming and has worked flawlessly. All of my pictures, music, notes and contacts are there with no trouble at all. It is fast, sleek and works like no other computer I've ever had. I couldn't be happier with this computer. I am a semi pro photographer so I wanted to upgrade to a Mac for photo editing.
