Did I get scammed?

[DoctorSalt]

I bought a macbook pro 2011 15" from a dude on Craigslist. Picture attached. I never owned a mac before, and I thought it was okay, but in retrospect was I sold some knockoff? The shift and enter key are annoyingly far on the edges.

It's a non-US country variant.

although your specific layout doesn't seem to be there.

Hmm... I would caution you against buying used if you're unfamiliar with them. The 2011 models were notoriously unreliable. I hope this was at least cheap.

I doubt it's a knockoff. If your curious about the keyboard, contact the seller?

There's a warranty extension for the graphics issue on these Macs.

This is the "US international" keyboard variant. We have plenty of these boxes. You get one extra "paragraph" key compared to the "US" version.

Yeah I know. I have a 2011 17" (repaired twice). The warranty extension goes through the end of this year. After that you're on your own.

An Apple look-alike hardware that also runs Mac OS? That seems very unlikely.

Apple Clones are back! 🙂

as others have said, seems like you have an international keyboard on that MB. It’s a legitimate apple product configured for international use.

I think the weird thing is last night and today there have been several of these old posts have been brought back up, and the users commenting on the threads are new users. I can see one or two popping up, but not the 5-6 that I have seen today.

It’s probably just people google searching and showing up here.
