I'm not sure either, you should try measuring the laptop and read the measurements of the case

Sorry....I really don't know. Your best bet is to search Amazon for a laptop cover for an A1278.

Hi! I have a late 2008 MacBook Pro and just bought this battery to replace an OEM Apple battery and it works perfectly. And I did double check and my MBP is an A1286. Hope that helps!

It should but to make sure check the model number on the bottom of your macbook, if it the model number is A1278 then it should fit just fine.

It did not work with my 2008 MBP (pre-unibody). I tossed this in the trash as it was a cheap POC

It didn't work with my older MacBook Pro laptop. Got an error message something like "device using too much power through USB" and it was bypassed. Might work on newer Macs.

Yes! I have a MacBook Pro from 2011 or 2012 and it works. There should be a small opening for a lock next to the CD drive.

A1278 is the MB model that I have, and it did not work. I don't think it's the MB; I bought a Rocketfish Mini DisplayPort and it works perfectly with the same MB. Never flickers or anything.

It works on a late 2010 Macbook Pro running 10.8.3. It works on an early 2008 Macbook running 10.7.8.

Sorry, i don't have an answer for this, mine is a 2008 with osx 10.8 and it does work.

I also have a 15" 2010 macbook pro and I bought this and it has worked out very well for me. So if i7 A1286 is the 2010 unibody model then yes it will work fine.

According to the model number compatibility, this should be compatible with your Macbook

I don't have the model notation in front of me but I used it in the Macbook Pro 13" mid-2010 model quite a while ago and it still works perfectly.

Hello. It works with my late 2009 macbook A181. I would say that as long as yours has a magsafe this charger will do the job. Regards.

Yes it does. I have a new 10.75 MAC laptop and a new desk top and it works with both - unlike all the rest of my hardware that doesn't.

Yes, it works fine with my MacBook Pro 15 (LAte 2011 model) that I bought in April of 2012.

It should - mine works with my 2008 27" iMac. You just need that mini video input jack.
