Operating System Considerations
This MacBook Pro ships with macOS High Sierra as the native operating system. The macOS platform offers significant advantages, including seamless integration with other Apple devices, comprehensive security features, and an intuitive user interface. Additionally, this model can be updated to newer macOS versions through OpenCore Legacy Patcher, extending software compatibility and functionality. However, potential considerations include a smaller application ecosystem compared to Windows and premium pricing for software upgrades. The closed ecosystem ensures consistency and security but offers less customisation flexibility than alternative operating systems.
Excellent vs Good Grade: Understanding the Difference
Excellent Grade: Showcases only minor signs of use, often barely noticeable. Cosmetic condition includes minor scuffing or light abrasions on the chassis, very light wear on the keyboard from standard use, and a screen that is completely free of scratches, cracks, dead pixels, or discoloration. This grade represents a well-maintained device with only standard wear from normal operation.
Good Grade: Displays more visible scratches and wear than Excellent Grade. Cosmetic features may include heavier keyboard wear, small dings or dents on the cover, small paint chips or hairline cracks in the bezel, and screens that may have uneven light diffusion, subtle blemishes, slight scratches, or dead pixels—though no cracks. Both grades are fully functional; the difference is primarily cosmetic.
