15.4" MacBook Pro with Retina Display and Final Cut Pro

Description

So, I’ve been using this MacBook Pro for years—mostly for video editing and music production—and finally decided to part with it. It’s a 2024 model with the Retina display, Touch Bar, 8-core i9 processor, 16GB RAM, and 500GB SSD. Runs smoothly, no lag, even when I’m bouncing between Final Cut Pro, After Effects, and Logic Pro.

I tested every single component—screen, logic board, fans, everything—against Apple’s own standards, and it passed every check. The machine’s been running the latest macOS Sonoma, and I’ve got all the creative apps pre-installed: Premiere Pro 2024, DaVinci Resolve 19, Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Ableton 12, Logic Pro 10.8, and even some niche stuff like DxO and Luminar A.i.

It’s got a solid build, feels premium, and I’ve used it for everything from podcast editing to full film projects. I even have a 14-day exchange period in case it doesn’t quite fit—no hard feelings.

I live in the Isle of Rum, Kinloch, so it’s not on the edge of London anymore. I’ve been selling Apple gear here for over 12 years, mostly through Gumtree, and I’ve always tried to keep things honest and reliable. If you’re into creative work or just want a solid, future-proof machine, this one’s been a real workhorse.

I don’t take cash or card over the phone—just in person or via bank transfer. Viewings are totally welcome, and I’m open 7 days a week (10am–7pm Mon–Sat, 11am–5pm Sunday).

I’ve also got a little bit of a habit—when I sell something, I’ll often trade it in or swap it out for something else. So if you’re looking to upgrade or just want to swap, I’m happy to talk.

No fancy marketing here. Just a real Mac that’s done its job and now I’m letting it go. Hope it finds the right hands. 💻
