    I purchased this item as a Christmas gift. I repeatable tried to get a price and availability on the warranty. No one was able to help me and I just ran out of energy asking. Sales crew was fine aside from that.

    I ordered the gold/rose gold and a silver one came. I am so upset! And they couldn’t offer me anything besides drive to a bestbuy and trade it for a new one. No some money back to compensate. NOTHING. I am furious

    Computer was marked as Refurbished but shift key does not work and continuously makes noise and has glitches. Just opened it and not returnable. Biggest waste of money I've ever spent. Buy directly from Apple. Never buy one from Best Buy. These are not Refurbished...they are junk.

    I had bought a 2023 Mac book air and they sent me a 2017 model called them back for them to say take it to a store and my new one would be ready in a week. They then sent me the wrong charger for the laptop so I had to go back to the store to exchange charger now and they do not wanna own up to the two mistakes and give me a gift card back for my troubles. I will never spend any more money at Best Buy!

    MacBook Air

    Getting this Refurbished MacBook Air has been one of the best decisions for my school year. I was a little hesitant at first about buying a refurbished laptop, but this thing feels and works like it's brand new. The Apple M1 chip is seriously fast. I can have a dozen tabs open for research, be working on a paper in Word, and have a lecture video playing in the background without any slowdowns. The battery life is probably the most impressive part. I can go through a full day of classes and studying on campus without even thinking about bringing charger with me. It's easy to carry, which is perfect for moving it around from class to class. Beyond school, it's been awesome for everything else, too. Scrolling through social media, streaming shows, and video chatting with friends is incredibly smooth. The 256GB is plenty of space for all my school files and photos, and the 8GB of memory handles multitasking like a pro. The display is bright, making everything from reading articles to watching YouTube videos look great. Honestly, for a student on a budget, this refurbished MacBook Air is an absolute game-changer.

    MacBook works. Came in very dirty and with a not useable charger. Computer was caked with dried food and black residue. Charger was frayed and dirty also. Before use had to go & purchase a new charger.

    Never Never Never buy a refurbished Mac from BestBuy. I bought one last November and within a month it kept freezing up. By the time I decided to do something about it the 90 day warranty expired. It’s a hardware bug that even Apple won’t fix. Good bye $600 and my business BestBuy.

    Of course I bought a refurbished but some keys are not working well. I went to the Apple Store and got it cleaned but they told me I might need a new keyboard. Please be awake of these purchases.
