||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This MacBook is a nice investment if you need one for the bare-bones programs and internet access. Personally, It does the basics of what I need it to for this season; I use it to write, study, and run programs like Microsoft Office for school. I also use it to take notes, surf the web, and also stream music. Additionally, it supports AirDrop so transferring files between the computer and my phone is much easier. An added bonus is that the Apple logo on the lid lights up. I will say this though: As this particular unit is now seven years old, there are some things that one might take into consideration when looking to make a purchase like this one. For one, the operating system is progressively being phased out, and there are certain apps and programs that will not run, (that is if you can get them to download). Please keep this in mind when purchasing an older model of any Apple product. Secondly, Since this is an older unit, the battery is also (I imagine) almost as old as the computer itself, so there may be some aging of the battery, where it may drain faster than it did when it was new. Depending on what it is you are looking for in a computer, this may affect your ultimate decision on making this purchase. Bottom line: It works for me, and quite frankly, I really like it. However, if you are looking for a MacBook that you can use for a few years WITH the capacity to access many popular Apps on the App Store, this computer is not for you. I would suggest making the investment of a newer MacBook Air, maybe a couple of years old or newer; Especially if you plan on holding on to it for a while. There are a number of factors to consider when making a purchase like this, so I would recommend taking inventory of what you are looking for in a computer right now, as well as where you might see yourself on the road ahead. Thanks for taking the time to read this review, and I hope that you find it helpful on your quest for a laptop. Blessings, D. W.

Great for a first computer for your kids!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect for a first computer. A little tiny ding in cosmetic but something I surely can look past for my teenager for his first computer. It works just as we need it to and I will absolutely be doing the same thing for my daughter. Would recommend especially for kids!

Scratch around the apple on the front cover.

MacBook Air “Good” Included charger”Fire Hazard”!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this as a gift for my daughters 16th birthday which was on march 9th. She’s always wanted one, but new ones are very expensive. I purchased this refurbished one hoping that she would love it just the same. And, she does. The Mac book air itself seems to be working good after just a couple of days however, it came with an aftermarket charger that gets VERY VERY hot while charging for only a few minutes. It almost burnt her hand! That’s why it’s only a 3 star rating. I checked, and it’s definitely a bad charger. She just received it on her birthday (9th) and the return policy is 15 days (7th). We’re going to try to exchange the charger tonight to see if that solves the issue. IT’s a refurbished 2017 model yes, it was still $400 something dollars and I feel that it should have an Apple “working” charger, not a fire hazard of an aftermarket charger. Hopefully they will exchange the charger with no issues. I will update my review pending the results of that.

I would make sure it’s really the latest OS
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Mac is awesome. I’m giving 4 stars because it did not come updated. Not being an avid Mac user I was pretty disappointed. So with that being said I had to research how and what to upgrade it too. Luckily I’m savvy in research.

Love my Mac
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a refurbished Mac and I am very happy with how well it works. I don’t use a laptop very often so it didn’t make sense for me to buy a new one. It came with everything I needed and powered right up.

Great purchase!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very pleased with this product. For a certified refurbished laptop, I got more than what I expected. The laptop is fully functional, there are no deficits in appearance and function, only a handful of scuffs and scratches that don't affect the use of the laptop. For the price, I am very satisfied!!

Good laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m very pleased with this laptop. I didn’t need the fastest or newest computer since my desktop is brand new. This is just to have a second computer and one that’s portable. I’m very hangout with my purchase.

Not bad but doesn't do what I want.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well, I got this device to be able to use garage band (music editing and recording program) and it turns it the OS doesn't support it and there is no way to upgrade it. The fact my iPad from 2012 ran it, is strange to me. I guess I should have done more research. Needless to say, I'm not super happy about that.

Do NOT buy a MacBook here
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If I could give Best But a zero I would. Bought a “certified refurbished” MacBook for my son for Christmas. Opened it Christmas morning and upon installing an update (it wasn’t updated when we bought it) it got stuck in a loop. Can’t get passed the failure to update screen. Brought it back yesterday to have them help us so we could wipe his information and they told us to fix it we had to pay $100. Horrible policy for a brand new purchase.

Apple MacBook Air (2017)The MacBook Air remains an excellent ultraportable choice for students and other macOS fans with basic computing needs, but despite killer battery life, it will disappoint power users with its low-resolution display and outdated processor.
