[QUOTE="JenBell, post: 1415523, member: 42737"] Got the following delivered today 18th June 2012: 1x Refurbed MBP 17" 2.5Ghz late 2011 (October). 4GB RAM. It came with 750GB 7200RPM HDD, was expecting 500GB 5400RPM (bonus I guess). Physical Condition of MBP: Outside: Vertical scratches/scrapes on left side of laptop corner base. 1x Horizontal scratch 9mm from the IR sensor. IR sensor is fine, scratch is near it. Top of case has a minor small scratch. Outside Summary = fine. Nothing major. Speck case will protect and hide these anyway. Inside: No dead pixels (AWESOME!!!!) Main HDD Bay: SATA 6Gbps. HDD is SATA speed is set to 1.5Gbps (hardware limitation of the drive). Optical Bay: SATA 6Gbps. Could use data doubler but only to SATA 2 speed drives. Tackpad. Aligned is slightly off. Top if level but is in an incline so your finger rubs against the bottom, left and right side of the trackpad barrier. I plan to remove the battery and see if loosening the main click screw will make it align level and still keep the click on the trackpad. Speck Case. Transparent. Not opened this yet. Apple Care. Not registered it yet. Samsung 830 SSD 512GB. Plan to connect to Windows laptop and upgrade to latest firmware. My USB stick just died, failed burning ESD lion image using toast. Will be using disk utility and give it a go. More updates to follow. [/QUOTE]
