So, I bought this on a total whim, when my trusted macbook of 13 years suddenly went haywire and I needed one for work. I spent about 2 minutes looking for options; and settled on this one since the price was low and I liked the color. I half expected it to show up disheveled with ample signs of wear and tear. However, to my delight, the thing looked brand new. Felt brand new. I still can't tell the difference. A few weeks in, and I love this thing so much. It's light and cute, and works wonderfully. I am so happy with my purchase and even happier I didn't spend thousands on a new one, when this one is just as good!

I was a little unsure of buying this since I felt like buying off Amazon Refurbished was a gamble due to the reviews I read online. However the computer I received is really good! The computer came just a little dirty (smudges) but that’s fixable. It also had a few scratches but I just put stickers on it, it’s not a dealbreaker for me. The computer itself runs really smoothly. The screen isn’t broken & it seems there’s overall no issues. It’s pretty light as well, and I love the simple silver color. It’s budget friendly and something that your wallet won’t scream at you for. I’m going to come back in 2 months and update! So far, so good.

I have bought refurbished/renewed electronics, for myself and others, from Amazon and other places for years and never had a problem until this transaction. This product was described by the seller as "Renewed - Excellent" but was in Poor condition. The laptop had three very visible scratches on the outside cover, with additional scratches on the Apple logo. Worse yet, the backlit keyboard had MAJOR defects as 4 keys (A, S, E and D) had the letters completely worn off (and were illuminated as unreadable white blobs). Worse yet, a sticker had been haphazardly placed over the top of the D key. Not only was the sticker not even centered on the key, but a sticker on a key of a backlit keyboard disables the backlight functionality for that key. Horrible. I have owned a lot of computers over the years and have never experienced keys wearing off on a keyboard. This thing was either abused or defective from the start. I have two laptops that I use to run my business. Both bought refurbished or used (without being refurbished) and both have been great for multiple years and still have no physical defects despite a lot of travel and heavy use. Overall, VERY disappointing and deserves a 1-star review, only because I cannot give it a zero. I received a return authorization and will be sending it back for a refund. This disappointing experience also resulted in my daughter not having a computer for her first day of high school orientation. I’m buying another one from a different seller today, so at least she will have it for the first day of class next week. There should be some sort of quality control process for allowing sellers to market renewed products under the Amazon name. Maybe there is and this one just slipped through the cracks. Update as of 9/10/24, I have still not received my refund or any communication from Amazon or the seller.

Two things to know: The computer comes without a charge. It also does not come with a charger. Once I was able to charge it (and it does take a bit of time to charge all of the way), the computer worked well. It was easy to set up and the quality is great - no scratches or dents. Definitely would recommend.

perfect works fine so far, no scratches or any damage

It came within one day, fully charged and with a brand new charger. It started up right away and looks brand new besides very minor scuffs. I love it & would highly recommend. It has given me 0 issues

Perfect condition

Works great! Looks nice, is a bit beat up (scuffs and scratches on the top and a scratch on the screen) Battery life is surprisingly good. only major complaints is that the up arrow key does not work at all. not sure if its stuck or just broken. but it just doesn't work. Thankfully, I rarely use it but it is a hassle for things like writing papers for school.

The product looks great, but the charge cord is the wrong one

Nunca había comprado un artículo reconstruido y tenía mis dudas. Hasta el momento, esta computadora ha funcionado correctamente. Por el precio, me ahorré un buen dinero.

La verdad pensé que vendría un poco más utilizada o con más ciclos de batería pero la Mac vino prácticamente como nueva, vino con 160 ciclos de batería y literalmente sin ningún tipo de rasguño, hasta me trae una mica de pantalla integrada lo cual se me hace increíble, cabe destacar que no está incluida pero se me hace un detalle hermoso que lo hayan dejado, el cargador es genérico por lo que les recomiendo compraste uno original, en general le doy un 10/10 a la compra.

Although used it is in imaculate condition and runs really well as expected from Apple.

I am truly not one to leave bad reviews and have always left good reviews, but this is horrific—the products they are selling. 1. They are damaged and used. 2. The adapter is old, not Mac, and unreliable. 3. The computer heats up. 4. The vendor is justifying using "renewed" when, in actuality, it is old and used. 5. The computer is slow. 6. The processor is old and limited; downloading new software takes up most of the memory. 7. The past user cannot be erased, so at any time, all your current info can be erased. 8. The camera and mic are subpar. 9. The keyboard is so worn that pressing return is a challenge. Sellers should clearly mark it as USED and provide accurate images, as a computer is more than just a device—it is an essential tool for many. Time lost to misrepresentation is more than an inconvenience; it professionally paralyzes individuals, causing unnecessary disruption and setbacks. Customers have the right to accurate information—that is the law and the foundation of ethical business.
