The seller claimed he purchased the laptop, which dates back to 2007, from Craigslist, then noticed an extendable cellular antenna and a fully integrated cellular modem and SIM slot. The machine’s motherboard was red, typical of Apple prototypes, according to MacRumors. Sold machines usually have blue motherboards.
