~~Second-hand MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019) ~~ sold

I am selling my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019).

I used this MacBook as my main computer from summer 2019, when I purchased it from the Apple store, until last fall (2021). I have not used it since last year, so I am selling it.

It is in excellent condition, there are little cosmetic marks of usage. I have noticed no decline in battery performance since the day I started to use this mac.

These are the specifications:

• Operating system macOS Mojave Version 10.14.6 (the MacBook is compatible with latest Mac OS if you wish to install it)
• Processor 2,6 Ghz Intel Core i7
• Memory 16 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
• Graphics Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB
• Storage 256 GB SSD
• Battery cycle count: 447; max cycle count recommended by Apple: 1000
• Keyboard QWERTY US (see photo)
• Touch bar yes

I have erased the disk, run all checks below on hardware and software. Everything is working as expected. I reinstalled a fresh operating system. (I reinstalled the default operating system that was shipped with the Macbook, however, you are free to install another operating system, if you need to. I can see on Apple’s website that Macbook shipped in 2019 are compatible with the latest operating systems Apple distributes.)

These are details of the checks and tests I run which you can run again if we meet in person:

• Check battery cycle (447 counts);
• Run a pixel check
• Check all keyboard keys
• Check sound output, speakers, jack/headphone output
• Check sound input
• Check 4x USB ports
• Check webcam
• Check Bluetooth
• Check WiFi port
• Check that there is no firmware password
• Run a hardware test (by pressing D key when starting up)
• Check storage device (Apple calls that “Disk Utility, First Aid”)

I can ship.

I do self-funded research and I'm writing a book.

> What's the book about?

About technologies and agency.

Meaning, technologies can foster agency. No doubt. But I am also asking:

Can usage of technologies give us a sense of empowerment while in fact undermining our abilities?

I posted a summary of the prologue on the homepage: https://yctct.com/
