Great laptop
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I purchased one for online college work and other everyday things like banking and social media. I love that I now have somewhere to copy my photos to from my phone. No more storage issues. The fingerprint ready is convenient but sometimes you still need to use your password. Battery life is great. The screen is super clear. Here are some cons: Screen doesn’t get really bright. I’ve noticed that with the new iPhone 11 as well so it might be a retina side effect or something. The charging cable is much shorter now that it’s a thunderbolt charger.

Love my MacBook
|Posted .Owned for 7 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Overall, I really love my MacBook. The only reason I’d give 4 stars is that over the year I’ve had it, I have multiple occasions where it doesn’t start up quickly and for unknown reasons. It’s not a consistent issue, periodically it’s just difficult to wake from sleep mode or start up initially. Other times it’s fine. I’ve questioned from the beginning if it’s just normal. It’s also always run hot after an hour or so of use the fan becomes quiet loud. I’ve prevented this by placing it on a cooling fan stand. Otherwise, it’s great.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Design, Ease of use, For schoolNot only is this laptop beautiful, light, elegant, and an Apple product, the sale price was reasonable, the setup was flawless, and I was able to use my laptop within half an hour for my class projects. It is user friendly, comes with its own secure environment, and after Word- Microsoft was officially downloaded, all of my work is saved correctly for easy access from my tablet and phone. The lower storage can be fixed easily with an external hard drive, not that I have had to even think about that at this point. The only purchase that is a must is the multi-port adapter that is shown clearly in the description of the product. If this laptop last even near the years my Mac Mini lasted 12-15 years I will truly be amazed. If it last over the 2-3 year marker any other brand laptop I have purchased I will be very happy. It has a beautiful display and I love the dark mode along with the True Tone.

Q: Questionhow much is a monthly payment?
Asked by noobz.
- A:Answer Suggested payments of $83.34 per month*. Making 12 suggested payments would pay the purchase of •$999.99• by the end of the promotion. Now for the tiny fine print that nobody reads... ...*If not paid in full after 12 months the you’ll be stuck paying interest at a variable rate anywhere from •24% to 30%• thus paying way more than the laptop is worth. This is how they make a ton of money from financing customers. Those that really can’t afford it go for this deal and they slack on their payments. Always take full advantage of interest free financing. Pay it off before the interest free promo expires. Bonus: this will be beneficial to anyone trying to build credit or increase your credit score. I do not suggest exceeding 12 months.
