    Excellent quality, only a few dents but doesn’t affect the usability of the MacBook. It has become my favorite device outside of my phone and it’s so fun to customize and make my own. Would buy a refurbished device again!

    I expected a much better quality laptop for nearly $500. There is evidence of stickers on the case. You can still see the ghost outline of both of the stickers. One of them appears to be a red hot chili peppers sticker outline. There are also light scratches on the case. I did not even bother powering it on, so I can’t speak to that. Best Buy should be embarrassed that they sent out such a poor quality refurbished product.

    It came with maybe one or two scratches but they’re not super noticeable. It does take some time for apps to open and booting takes a little while, but overall I don’t have any issues with it. This is my first experience with Macbook so I don’t really know what’s the usual, but I don’t regret the purchase. If you’re in need of a new laptop and need something quick, I think this is a pretty solid laptop.

    Very Pleased and Happy -- Referbished MacBook Air

    A cost effective solution was needed to become familiar with the Mac operating system. Best Buy's web site advertises Geek Squad refurbished MacBooks. Finding one the suits the bill, ordered it on line for in store pickup. The MacBook Air was picked up from the local Best Buy after receiving notification that it had arrived at the store and was available. The Best Buy associate was pleasant, requested a picture I.D. handed over the package and I was out the door in a matter of minutes. Open the box and noted that the MacBook Air was appropriately packed. Removing the MacBook Air from the packaging noted a slight dent in the top of the computer as well as ghost images of decals/stickers that were removed from the notebook. Kudos to the Geek Squad for how well they cleaned the stickers off of the notebook. The only issue was encountered when plugging in the power cord in the MacBook Air. The MacBook Air gave a USB error and the battery icon did not reflect charging. Borrowing the USB C to USB C cord from another Mac user corrected the issue. Talking to Best Buy's support team, it was conveyed that should the Geek Squad deem the USB C to USB C cord was the issue it would be replaced under the 30 day warranty policy. Taking in to consideration time it was more efficient to purchase a replacement USB cable with free shipping in lieu of trying for a warranty replacement. I am very please with this purchase and have made recommendations to others interested in MacBooks to look at Geek Squad refurbished units.

    I've had it a couple days now and it's awesome. There's one tiny scratch at the bottom corner of the top side that's barely even noticeable. The computer came with the power adapter and charging cable. I opened it up, charged it a little (it arrived with 0% battery) and set it up with my iPhone. It had been completely factory reset, as it should be. The battery reads "normal" and it does last for a good while before needing to be recharged. Only thing is it's more of a rose gold color, which I think is better anyway, but just something to be aware of. I say buy one and save yourself some money over buying new.
