    It’s was complete garbage. I had to return it. It wouldn’t come on. Even when i was trying to get it to come on. It took forever for that to happen. It was moving slow. Once i got it on it didn’t work. I returned it and ordered a different one

    Malfunctioning hard drive and could not perform basic word processing or internet search. I understand that the machine is old, but I expect Best Buy to only sell computers that actually work

    Worked for less than 2 months before giving me a white screen. No longer works, I’ve called bestbuy several times and they’re unable to help me. Save your money and purchase elsewhere.

  • Best Buy Sells Refurbished JUNK!

    DO NOT BUY REFURBISHED ANYTHING FROM BESTBUY. They are a disgrace. The company is no longer what it was. No longer about the customer. I bought this ‘refurbished’ MacBookPro and the battery decided to take a dump on me, one morning. Now, I can only use the laptop when its fully plugged in. Unplugged and it shuts off. Nearly 500 bucks short and of course, BestBuy cannot do anything. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY ELSEWHERE! You’ve been warned!
