So glad I invested in this laptop.
So glad I got this laptop while it was on sale. Amazing quality, almost like new. It had a minor scratch but I have a case so I wasn’t worried about it. Other than that, great product.

MacBook Air Top Tier
MacBook is great for my college lifestyle. It keeps up with all my daily tasks and the battery doesn’t die to quickly. Unfortunately, my charger broke today January 15, 2025 which was inconvenient because I was working on my marketing plan. Overall, I highly recommend this MacBook over the newer models because it does the same things, it’s way cheaper, and you get more bang for your buck.
