The laptop is good but the command button is lose and I sometimes have to push it back in and the charger it came with is already broken, it doesn’t charge my Mac and I’ve used the MacBook like 8 times since I’ve bought it other then that I’ve kept it in the charger then one day it just stopped charging

It is refurbished so I guess you get what you pay for buy the battery life in this is definitely not good. And there is a slight “smudge” look on the screen. It’s in the top corner so not where it hurts but sucks still. Other than that it’s good

Good for 3mos then keyboard/mouse stopped working. I use it for coding and the speed was good. Just every time i turned it on it moved really slow and opening my pages back was difficult because it kept freezing. That was an issue i could deal with but then out of nowhere the keyboard shuts off the Touch Bar and the trackpad was completely off and non responsive. So sad that I can’t exchange or return and I’m stuck with a computer that i can’t even open.

Needless to say, i was excited to start using my new laptop. However, halfway through typing, i realized that some of my words werent spaced. When i went to correct it, i came to realize my spacebar isnt working. This got very tiresome very quickly. Ill press it 4-6 times before it finally decides to work and give me a space. Ive tried different pressures, different hold periods, and its just not working.
