One persons junk is my new treasure
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve always been a big supporter of buying secondhand products. I recently started buying my tech secondhand and this is just another item on my list of things I’m glad I purchased refurbished! I paid less than half the price of this MacBook originally, and there is one minor scratch on the back of the laptop. Other than that no one would know that it was previously used. The only downside was the way that it was shipped, the box with all mangled and didn’t even have the words fragile written on it anywhere. Luckily, mine delivered with no damage, but that might not be the case for the next person who buys one. Highly recommend.

Surpasses Reality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had purchased the refurbished Macbook Air for my daughter in college to ease and enhance her studies and wanted something durable and reliable. Since then, it has been a great device that works perfectly and has great style. The features described by Best Buy surpass reality. It was a wonderful purchase and would highly recommend for anyone looking for a device for college or personal use.

Decent but still can be better
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.How does my charger cord come in chewed on and has cords exposed? I literally just got it today and after inspecting noticed some pretty big defects like the finish around the screen was like coming off and my charger was like chewed on by a dog from the box. I know it’s inexpensive but at least let us know that the cosmetic thing is understandable but the charger? At least tell me I have to buy a new charger in the comments
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:8gb memory

As expected!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good on the refurbished MacBook. Gave a review of 4 because it had a few more scratches than I expected. BUT for the cost, definitely worth it.
