The Apple MacBook MB881LL/A is a bestselling 2009 MacBook that has been praised for its decent hardware, its Mac OS X operating system and for its sturdy build quality. But the older hardware will mean missing out on the latest versions of Mac OS X and the 120GB of storage space is small compared to modern standards. Users can upgrade the storage drive and RAM if they can track down DDR2 memory. While newer models boast long battery life, the Apple MacBook MB881LL/A has an average battery life of 4 hours.


Pros

  • Mac OS X
  • Apple ecosystem
  • Price
  • Sturdy build quality

Cons

Bottom Line

The Apple MacBook MB881LL/A is a refurbished MacBook at the fraction of the price of the latest version. The hardware is outdated and is more suited to basic tasks such as web browsing, word processing and Skype.
