So glad I got this laptop while it was on sale. Amazing quality, almost like new. It had a minor scratch but I have a case so I wasn’t worried about it. Other than that, great product.

MacBook is great for my college lifestyle. It keeps up with all my daily tasks and the battery doesn’t die to quickly. Unfortunately, my charger broke today January 15, 2025 which was inconvenient because I was working on my marketing plan. Overall, I highly recommend this MacBook over the newer models because it does the same things, it’s way cheaper, and you get more bang for your buck.

Works and looks great, has a small scuff bottom side which it saids it may have in the description so no biggie. Besides that looks and works new. Only downside was the non apple charger but still works.

My favorite purchase. I have always wanted a MacBook and I impulsively bought it one day and I can’t be more happy I did. It is very useful and runs amazing.

Came with two faint scratches on the trackpad but other than that - no complaints! I'm glad I purchased a refurbished laptop - lower price, same product!

Never purchased a Pre-Owned MacBook Laptop before. This was purchased for my daughter-Law. She just loves it. Works like a brand new one for less the cost.

horrible purchase. I have to wait a month to get it. The charger doesn't not work I tried to return it in the store they won't return it for me saying there system won't let them do return. I end up buying a a charge and after charging the computer I can only use it for 1 hr and the battery dies.

I kept seeing reviews with the mac coming with wrong charger in box, same thing happen to me. Wrong charger in box, in order to buy one ill be around $80 just keep that in mind when purchasing this laptop. BesBuy wont replace the wrong charger and just state its sold as is since it’s refurbished. Laptop was also scratched everywhere,

When I purchased this computer certified refurbished, I had no idea it was coming from a third party website. When I got the computer, everything seemed to work just fine. However, after turning it on and getting it set up, the battery wasn't working. It was saying the battery needed to be serviced, wouldn't stay charged and the fan was running loud and hot. I had to return it because it was unusable. I would definitely recommend to be cautious with buying refurbished computers here.
