Did not regret purchasing purchasing
As a long-time Windows user, everything changed after I bought this Apple MacBook Air M1. Even though it refurbished it seriously look brand new there was no scratches on the laptop or anything. I use this laptop for my school and my student teaching and it is a 10/10. The battery life literally last all day long and it super fast when booting up. I use to have a Hp pavilion x360 15.6inch tablet/laptop and that took a hit on back on how heavy it is but with the Apple MacBook it is so light I was surprised when I took it out the box. Like I take this laptop with me everywhere. Whereas my old laptop I would keep that at home and bring my iPad instead. If you looking for a laptop for school and work get the Apple MacBook Air M1. It is durable, lightweight , and high performance.

No regrets.
Got this computer for online school and my business. It has been nothing but great to use. I have an iMac, iPhone, and iPad. So it makes it easy for sharing and finding files saved between devices. I love how lightweight the computer is and how fast it is. My iMac is dinosaur slow and this MacBook is FAST. Not to mention how awesome the battery life is. I also love that it has a USB-C charger now. I did not have any scratches or anything of any sort. It look brand spanking new. Except for the charging block. It was fairly worn. But that doesn’t matter.

Proud mom of a gold MBA
I purchased this laptop as an alternative to keep my main macbook safe and away from potentially getting stolen, dropped, scratched, cracked, and something to throw in my work bag or purse when I am out and need to take a laptop with me. I was expecting an item less than apple refurbished standards. Based on the other reviews, it did appear that I would more likely receive a product with dents, scratches, a jacked up screen, and an unhealthy battery. To my surprise, my product came to me with no scuffs, damage, cracks, screen prestine, and a tight hinge. As i looked further into this unit, i found the battery health at 97% and a cycle of 53! for an M1 MBA made in 2020, I think that's excellent. I wouldn't advise anyone to stay away from geek squad refurbished, but if you do receive your device and weren't satisfied, simply return or exchange it :)
