Q: Does the MacBook Air have a front-facing camera?
A: This MacBook Air does have a front-facing camera.

Q: What are the dimensions of the MacBook Air?
A: The MacBook Air has a width of 14.8 inches, a depth of 11.3 inches, and a screen size of 13.6 inches.
A: No. Unless buying refurb from Apple's website, refurb'd Mac's come with 1 year warranty that ends 1 year from when the ORIGINAL buyer purchased. Apple Care + is only available for 1 month from that date, so highly unlikely you can purchase. IMO, refurb sites like Best Buy should publish the original purchase date of each Mac they sell.
Q: Does the charger come with it and all the things in the box?
A: Yes, it comes with both the charger cord and adapter. Though, if you buy a used laptop, the charger will also be used.
Q: What kind of warranty is available with this refurbished MacBook Air 13.6 laptop?
A: Unfortunately, because of the refurbished/restored condition of this Macbook, there is no AppleCare+ coverage available. AppleCare+ coverage is only offered for brand new Apple products. - Ex Apple Support Tier 1 Phone Rep :)

Great Mackbook but I don’t like the charger
I was hesitant about buying a refurbished MacBook Air, but man, this thing is BEAUTIFUL! The Midnight color is absolutely stunning, and the redesign is so sleek and thin compared to the M1. It looks and feels brand new—no scratches on the screen, and just a tiny, barely noticeable surface mark that my case will cover completely. Performance-wise, it’s perfect for my daily tasks—QuickBooks, Excel, content creation, and even light gaming. I love how lightweight it is! The only downside was the charger I received, which smelled like smoke, but I’m ordering a fresh new one straight from Apple. Other than that, this MacBook is a 9.5/10 for me! If you’re on the fence about getting a refurbished model, don’t hesitate—you can’t beat the price for what you get!
