My 2019 MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Core i5, 8Gb RAM, 13” screen, 4 Thunderbolt ports, Touch Bar) now running an iFixit (npub1ulc…x3hg) replacement battery (today’s project) has done me all the service it needs to.

It can’t update macOS any higher than Sequoia 15, but will certainly happily continue to do that or run some flavour of Linux such as Linux Mint (npub1l38…ky3k). The Touch Bar has the blinkies when at rest, but works.

I have the original box and power supply to go with it.

If you cover postage and the cost of the replacement battery kit (AU$200), I’m happy to send it to you anywhere in Australia.
