A Gorgeous Machine
This laptop is absolutely gorgeous. This is my first MacBook and this one is refurbished. I was a little hesitant about that but a friend of mine who has one convinced me of it’s durability and performance. I highly recommend if you are unable to purchase a New one this is still a great way to go. Apple backs all of their product designs. I’m already looking for a second unit. The color is Midnight-I thought that it would have been black, but it’s a Midnight blue. It’s beautiful.
