    Its okay for the price

    We just ordered this mac for my boyfriend to make music. It comes with the computer but not the apple key board or mouse. They put these plastic wired keyboard and mouse instead which was disappointing. Some of the keys don’t work either.

    Great for my small business !

    I love it ! Works perfectly fine. Was able to update to Big Sur 11.7.2 so far. Bought it to start a small business from home without having to spend too much since we are just starting . Comes with a new generic keyboard and mouse it’s pretty cool.
