If it has a few years of use, check the keyboard. My 's'-button is nearly gone, same with cmd
Also, apart from the contact points, does a modern laptop really age? No moving parts should mean a long life? So as long as the laptop looks nice and the battery hasn't had a million cycles it should be good?
Is there a way to tell the 'using age' of a Mac? I know looking at the model year you can tell the how old the mac can be, but if it's been wiped clean completely, is the only way to judge how much use it has had from the battery count? I know even then it'd only give a very basic view as some people have their Macs plugged in more often than others.
