- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)

Great! One month in
I have had this computer for almost a month. I think that it works pretty great. It is my first MacBook computer ever. I do this the battery life runs out quite quickly, however it is to be expected. There is a few dents here and there but not very noticeable unless your'e fully inspecting it. But so far so good. It a great addition to my other apple products, and for the price it is a good deal.

Works well!
It’s definitely a good laptop! Different from my other one and some functions are hard to find but I think that’s more the OS update than anything else. Display is great and runs smoothly and quickly, it’s a change that every time it goes into sleep mode I have to re enter my password but that’s definitely a more secure way to do it! Overall great machine.

Love this
Love this laptop. It’s very good quality and the battery lasts a good while. It came in perfect condition. No scratches or physical damage I could see. Easy to setup also. The only downfall is that I wasn’t able to purchase AppleCare on it
