Non-Windstone 15in MacBook Pro + Goodies!

At the end of the month I’ll finally be ordering my new Macbook Pro. At long last. Perhaps a little earlier than I’d like but I don’t want to end up with the Lion OS that’s coming out this summer and have a bunch of things that don’t work.

Anyway!

MacBook Pro, bought February 2007 for college work.
15in display
120GB HD
2.16 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
1 GB 667 Mhz Ram (upgradable to 3, I believe. The kit for two 2GB sticks is about $50)
CD/DVD read/write drive
Webcam up in the monitor frame

Will be restoring to factory before it leaves the house, which means it’s going to run 10.4 Tiger. BUT!

I will be including:
Snow Leopard Box Set – 10.6 upgrade, iLife upgrade and iWorks
Adobe Creative Suite 2 Design Premium (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver and Flash) – it’s the Education version. I never registered it, and it should be perfectly upgradable to a newer version of the Creative Suite.
Wacom Graphire tablet
Blue Speck case

I have everything that every came with this computer, including the box it came in. Discs, manuals, cables and all. I think I even still have the Apple remote. The battery lasts a couple of hours still and everything is in pretty good shape.

However, because it was a school computer, it’s suffered a few of the cosmetic consequences. The case has a few scratches and dings and most are barely noticeable. At the edges of the screen on the monitor are some discolored areas. You notice them when you have a light colored window hanging out at the edges. They’ve been there almost since I bought the machine and I assume they’re from being carried around a campus in all environments, including the damp. They do not affect your work area in any way, shape or form or I would have fought a much harder battle with Apple to get the screen replaced.

I don’t have any photos at the moment, and I won’t be selling/shipping until the end of May/early June, when I have the new computer in hand and all my files are squared away, as it’s still my primary machine.

I am asking $1000 for it all though I may entertain offers. I’m not exactly looking to trade, but if you want to offer something up, I suppose the worst I can do is say no. If you’re interested but need some sort of payment plan, let me know, we can work something out.

I do NOT want to go to ebay with this mess, so if you know someone, boost the signal! Thanks much guys!
