Extremely Satisfied with Refurbished MacBook Air
Great refurbished product, with barely any blemishes. Charged the battery and was setting up and using after 1 hour. Delivered quickly in time as was quoted. Very happy with the quality and price!! Would consider purchasing other refurbished Apple products from BestBuy in the future. Definitely recommend to anyone interested in less expensive quality Apple products. Thank you very much!!!

Wrong charger
I wish I had read the reviews and did a little more research in ny haste to purchase this and get it shipped to my daughter at college. I thought I was getting a great deal “Geek Squad Certified Refurbished” but as many others have mentioned, the charger that was sent with the laptop was incorrect! I chatted with tech-support as well as called and spoke to someone and basically was told “oh well that’s what happens sometimes and there is nothing they can or will do. The options offered to me were to return the item to Best Buy to see if they can exchange it or just give me a refund. Obviously this is not acceptable because my daughter is away at college and I believe he said 13 days from the day I received it to even do this. So now I have to purchase and ship a new charger, which is not horrible, it’s just an inconvenience. Will definitely be more diligent next time.I hope the laptop actually works!
