is this macbook worth it?

I'm not in a rush or anything, but i do want to get a macbook or pro soon...(first time macbook owner). i know that a refresh is coming out soon for the mb, but the specs really don't concern me that much unless there's a new design. I'm a college student that's mostly going to use my mp for writing essays, watching youtubes, and maybe stream movies to tv, heck i don't even play games or watch high definition movies.

I found this on ebay this morning

Battery Does NOT hold a charge!!!

The specs on this mp is compatible with apple's current mb specs and it's more than what i need. The only problem is that the battery is not working.

So i did some research and it turns out that the battery only cost $64.95

I figured that people wouldn't want a dead battery laptop anyway and maybe i can win the bid with <350.00 and buy the battery for $65 which will get a mb for under 450 maybe.

so.. do you think that this would be a good deal?

thank you for the reply, i might seriously consider it. It's more than what i need and it seems like a cheap alternative for a broke college student such as myself.

oh, the graphic card doesn't worry me. Thanks.
But can i run windows on this? Probably will need it for some programs.
