is this version retina? Can't remember when this was introduced
It's not, I've added the missing spec's now, see above.
do you know if you can swap out the HDD or is this soldered in line the RAM?
This is probably the one of the easiest generations of MBP to work on, just take the bottom off and everything is easily accessable and replaceable - If you want to install an SSD it'll take you about 5 minuites.
Is the new battery original apple? checking as I've had previous issues with non-oem batteries
Its 3rd party, from a large, well regarded, UK Based spare parts company; not some cheapo eBay job with no chance of warrenty. I've bought from this supplier a few times and never had any issues. I still have the reciept for the battery in the unlikley event it had a problem.
Potential dibs but have a couple of questions please;
