A friend is giving me a MacBook Pro!

A rather newer one, a 2015 with a Retina display, as a matter of fact! My plan was to buy a 2012 MBP since it could be serviced, and that was going to run $600-800, so this will be quite a savings.
One slight problem: the battery is bulging, and it's quite a PITB to replace, so that's going to be a chunk of change to replace. That's why I'm getting it: he replaced it with a new Air, and knew that my MBP blew up last year, and knew I'd benefit from it.
