Incredible for a refurbished Mac!
This is a fantastic refurbished Mac! I’m giving it 4 stars only because it’s a little slow during updates. Other than that, it’s been excellent, and I really appreciate all the extra add-ons Best Buy included with my purchase. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it to a friend. Case purchased separately.
