Your choice of shipping options, which range from free (you pay to ship to TechRestore the company returns the laptop via three-day ground service) to $99 (TechRestore sends you a box, and the machine travels both directions via overnight delivery).Īfter Macworld Lab received the converted MacBook Pro, it sent me both the modified machine and a stock unibody MacBook Pro with which to compare it.

The company does not cover the new screen with glass or plastic it’s left exposed, just as the screen was on any older-generation MacBook or MacBook Pro. In its place, TechRestore installs a new matte screen surrounded by a custom-made, flat-black, plastic bezel.
