• The primary 500 GB hard drive successfully hosts the operating system but reports one failing SMART attribute.
• The secondary 500 GB Seagate hard drive is detected by the BIOS and operating system but does not expose accessible storage media. It is included installed and should be considered non-functional unless repaired or replaced.
• No battery is included.
• The included original power adapter has an Australian-style mains plug and may require a plug adapter or replacement cord depending on the buyer’s location.
• Due to the age of the computer, no guarantee is made regarding future hard-drive life, battery operation, or compatibility with other operating systems.

Cosmetic Condition

The laptop is in very good overall cosmetic condition for its age.

A protective exterior skin has remained installed to preserve the aluminum underneath. The aluminum was not exposed solely for listing photography because removing the protective layer could subject the finish to unnecessary handling and deterioration.
