Where did you get it so cheap?

Where did you get it so cheap?

In Austria, via a local classified site.

Ahh ok because I've been looking on ebay and most 2015 are around 650-750 depending on condition, battery cycles, etc

 

[mbosse]

Yes, I guess I was extremely lucky. Also, it did take some time to search for one.

 

[Kraizelburg]

Ohh ok yep you definitely got lucky 🙂

Anyway how's performing with catalina?

I also bought the same model with 16GB memory and 500GB HDD for 900€. three months ago and replaced the HDD with 1TB SSD.
it works well on Catalina so far.
650€ is fairly a reasonable price based on its conditions.
If you wanna 16GB memory, you wil need +200€.

Hi, I was thinking to replace the 128GB SSD with 1TB also, which one did you get? I've reading that depending on the SSD model it may drain the battery.

I selected CRUCIAL CT1000P1SSD8 based on Macrumors forum’s information.
I forgot to compare battery performance before replacement,
but don’t feel the SSD is affecting the performance so much so far.

Other users who selected the same one seem to have no battery problems.

The price is ok. I bought one excellent for 750 and other with small scratches for 590, both with low cycle count. Have a look at it, look for scratches, dents and try to reduce the price a bit.
