Apple MacBook Pro 13.3" MD101LL/A Silver
Its durable aluminum unibody and legacy connectivity, including Ethernet and a built-in optical drive, stand out in an era of dongles. The 13.3-inch display and backlit keyboard offer functional basics, though the 1280x800 resolution and integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics are dated. This refurbished model is best for students or writers needing a low-cost macOS device for word processing and web browsing.
