  • A "cheaper" way to explore the Apple Environment
As a Micro$oft computer user, I wanted to see learn the Apple universe. This item seemed to be the way to get into this universe at a relatively cheap price. I have an older iPad, and it is OK, but I am NOT a touch-screen person. I hate fingerprints on my screen. This item works VERY well, and as a "renewed" item, I was REALLY impressed at how good it worked, and how well it looks. I am still going through the "indoctrination" of the Apple Way. I know that the OS is based off of Linux, but I am still trying to figure out how to get into the inner circle of the OS. If I just embrace the iOS, as is, then it works as it should, but I miss a little bit of a lack of control. Anyway, for an introduction to the "Apple Way", this is a good way to get started. This is a 2020 unit and I am surprised at the battery life - fantastic. And I cannot stress how impressed I am with the screen! Vivid colors, and even with a relatively small screen, I can read it without glasses. That's amazing to me. For a 2020 model, the speed is acceptable. Then again, I haven't really pushed it. However, even at my "gentle" usage levels. the unit gets hot. I now use a lap board to keep the heat off of my legs. ... show more

  • Excellent MacBook
I got my MacBook within 2 days. It took me a little help from my daughters who also have MacBooks to help me set it up, but once done it works great! It is fast & is in great shape. It is just what I wanted. I would totally recommend a MacBook & this seller.

  • So sleek, great purchase.
In love with my MacBook. After weeks of research I went with this one for the sleek style and a few other features. Received a few days ago, I am pleased with the one I received. Fast and safe shipping, a few scratches but looks great over all. Battery life is pretty good. Screen looks great, sound quality strong, amazing.. Happy with my purchase overall. ... show more

  • Horrible refurbish
I bought this laptop to be a back up for when my job switched over from Macs to Dells. When it first arrived, I turned it on, and everything seems to be working fine. It’s sat on my desk almost completely unused for a long time. I now need to transfer all of my files over to this laptop, and it won’t turn on. I took it to a repair shop where they told me that the motherboard is completely dead. Also, everything is soldered into it, so if I had any data stored already, it would be inaccessible. I am furious that a computer that I never used is now completely worthless. Buyer beware! ... show more

  • MacBook
I was a little worried about buying a refurbished laptop but so far I love it and all is working well. But then after about a month it froze and totally crashed. I returned it and waiting for a refund still.

  • Worth the investment
There is a learning curve to this, however, not difficult or frustrating to learn. Once I got the hang of it (my first time owning a MacBook) I'm absolutely hooked now. It's for my every day use and I take it most places. Really like the small size, 13' is perfect, not huge and bulky and yet not too small to be annoying. Fast as lightening, sound is amazing, and camera is crisp and clear. Worth the investment, you won't be disappointed. ... show more

  • Good upgrade
Computer came great. I love it. The battery lasts about 5 hours. Probably because I can be on if for a very long time. I easily set it, no scratches, sound quality is great, great design compared to my 2013 MacBook, easy to carry. It’s a great upgrade for me because I can now update softwares.
