Apple MacBook A1181 13" Core 2 Duo 4GB 240GB SSD Debian Linux + Accessories Y2K
Price: US $62.22
Selling my classic white Apple MacBook A1181 -- a fun old-school Apple machine that I've given a new lease on life with an SSD and a fresh, current Debian Linux installation! This came from my own collection and has been personally used and tested. Before listing I installed Debian 13 (Trixie) with XFCE, fully updated the system, tested it on battery power, and set it up with a generic debian account for its next owner. This is certainly an old MacBook, but the SSD and lightweight XFCE desktop make it a neat little vintage Apple/Linux machine! Everything you need to know is listed below:

Other Notes:
**WiFi - card is present and system will detect it, however closed source apple drivers make configuring it an extra step... ethernet connection was fine for me as I used this laptop in a stationary manner!
This is an older white polycarbonate MacBook and shows its age, including yellowing/discoloration, marks, scuffs and general cosmetic wear.
Battery was tested running unplugged and is functioning. Linux reports approximately 63.6% battery health. No specific runtime is guaranteed due to its age.
The included vintage Apple Pro Mouse is in fair cosmetic condition and is a neat period-correct addition to the setup.
Please look through the photos for the best direct reference of its cosmetic condition and system/battery information. What is photographed/described above is what you will receive!
