Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro in Chico, CA

Selling a mid [removed phone]" MacBook Pro laptop. This model is the last 17" Apple sold, and one of the few recent models that has a matte display. Really solid, fast computer, and has been my workhorse for design work since I bought it new. I often ran was running multiple Adobe programs, working with video or doing significant multitasking, and never had a problem. I've upgraded the hard drive and the memory since I purchased it, and just replaced the battery. Apple claimed up to 8 hours of battery life with light use -- I imagine you'll see about 5-6 under heavy use. In generally good visual condition, with minor scratches. Only real cosmetic issue is some spots on the right palm rest area (see photo). Comes with power cable. Should be a solid, powerful computer that will last for a long time. Never had any issues with it.Specs:-- 17" with matte (non-glossy) display, 1920 x 1200 max resolution, web cam-- Unibody construction, CD/DVD drive-- Brand new Apple battery, just installed-- 2.53 Ghz Intel Core i5-- 8 GB Memory (upgraded)-- 240 GB SSD drive (upgraded)-- NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB graphics card-- Airport Extreme: Internal 802.11a/b/g/n-- Bluetooth: Internal 2.1 + EDR-- Fresh install of OSX MavericksPorts:-- Mini DisplayPort-- FireWire 400-- ExpressCard Slot-- 3 USB2-- Ethernet-- Integrated Microphone, Line In (3.5mm), Optical Digital In-- Kensington Lock Slot-- 8x Slot-Loading SuperDrive (Burns DVD's and CD's)Originally purchased for $2500ish -- this model with the same specs seems to be selling for around $1400-$1500+ on ebay.
