I’ve had this MacBook Air M1 for 3 weeks now and so far so good. It looks and performs like I purchased it brand new. At first I was very skeptical about buying a refurbished item but I’m glad I took the plunge. It was in mint condition with no blemishes. It runs powerfully and the battery life has really great run time. The only con was that I ordered it in Space Grey but received it in Rose Gold. But because of the huge savings and the fact that it was in new like condition, I decided to keep it as is. I would highly recommend any refurbished item that’s Geek Squad Certified.

Absolutely love it! This was my first MacBook I have ever owned and I have no complaints, battery life is perfect! It lasts a long time! It came in perfect condition no big scratches or anything like that, that I noticed anyway! Would definitely recommend!

Arrived in great condition - no sign of heavy use and low battery cycles (<50).
If you're pondering whether to go with the "old" M1 and if 8GB ram is enough, I'm happy to report that this package handles ~20ish Chrome tabs, some light scripting in Python/shell, and some streaming (Spotify/YouTube in the background) really well. The memory pressure and the CPU load stays pretty low and I have not noticed any lag. I did some photo editing and it handled that with minimal effort as well. All this while also rendering an external UWQHD display (3440x1440)! The growing theme with this laptop is that it's much faster, snappier/effortless, with much longer battery life than my past one. For reference, my last laptop was a 2017 MacBook Pro with an i7, 16GB RAM, and a dedicated graphics card.
I highly recommend it! It is great, and doubly so at this price point.

Okay so I apparently brought a macbook off of best buy’s geek squad and was a little skeptical amd worried a little bit because it might hbe tears and rips. Suprisingly it isnt. It came brand new condition and I finally needed a new laptop to start my fall semester for school. I will say when I first arrived at best buy for it. I was so freakin excited when I saw the girl come out with it. And opened it, it was so pretty! I am in love.

Bought as a gift for my sister who was in her last year of college. She needed a light, powerful and reliable machine to finish her final papers and presentations while handling various types of media and content. She says there are no issues with it being refurbished; works like new. She's really happy with it and I'm still an awesome big brother!

Best computer I ever owned. Most lightweight laptop for carrying in a backpack. Got it for a great price and used it all throughout college. I finally had to upgrade due to getting a job in AI that required a faster processor and better specs. I miss this computer!

I needed a replacement for my MacBook Air when I decided to go back to school. This Certified Refurbished MacBook Air 13.3” M1 Chip 8GB Memory 256 SSD - Gold It has everything I need and at a great price! I love the sleek design, it’s super lightweight and loads so quickly! One feature that I especially love about this laptop is Touch ID…it makes unlocking both the machine itself and sites you have saved on your keychain a one-touch motion. Something else I’ve noticed with this machine is how crisp and vibrant colors are. The sound is just okay…it does its job and easily connects to AirPods and Bluetooth speakers. Like all Apple devices, it was a breeze to set up from my previous laptop and to add this machine to my external hard drive for backing up.
Overall, if you’re looking for a reliable laptop with a little under the hood, this is a great buy.

Ordered this MacBook Air to replace a 2014 model. Needed a newer model with an operating system that would work with the new school Blackboard operating requirements. Received laptop and charger in the box. Great condition, with minor scratches on the top left corner of the case and on the bottom. Screen in great condition, along with keyboard and trackpad. Battery life is great. Use is primarily for online school work, and internet browsing.

If you travel a lot and need a small laptop that is super fast and has a long lasting battery, theres nothing better than the 13.3 inch m1 macbook air. It came with a few scratches but it works perfect. Good deal.

I was hesitant about buying a refurbished laptop but pleasantly surprised. The laptop came to me in perfect condition, if it does have any scratches they are not visible. The most concerning thing to me was the battery. Especially since it is an almost 5 year old model, those concerns were unfounded. I used it for about 4 hours the day I got it and then used it almost the entire day after and I still didn't have to plug it in. I am actually typing this review on 1% battery and it still hasn't died. I love it and am very happy with this purchase!

Overall pretty happy. Had a couple dents and dings on the corners and a few sticker residue on it . So far, battery life is good. Took 3 weeks to get it when the first one was lost in transit. Definitely a rose gold color, good memory, no issues with start up or program glitches. Definitely worth the money.

At first it came with problems with glitching on the Google Chrome Browser, but after redownloading it every runs very smoothly.
This is a steal! it came very clean and ready to work just like new. Its good for a highschooler who is looking to have a long lasting computer.

It was amazing!! I use it for college, and it came in perfect condition! It came without the Apple box, but I will say that it was very well packaged, and the Mac Book runs amazingly, you can even play video games on it or use it for work/school! Highly Recommend! You may have to wait until it comes back in stock, so just keep an eye out! (happens within seconds)

Works great. It came packaged very secure. the charger is a brand new charger. the screen works amazing as well as all of the buttons. the only thing that is “messed up” is the anti glare screen, and it’s just a few small marks where it got messed up. there are a few dings and scratches but nothing deep and noticeable that i couldn’t just blame on myself! It was an amazing price and it’s an amazing computer for being refurbished

I ordered a space gray laptop and got a rose gold one. The plug-in for the charger was bent. I wanted to request a replacement but decided to keep the one I was sent. The laptop and charger works great so I’m feeling thankful.

I love this! It is so lightweight, has an awesome sauce battery life of more than 24 hours, and the Touch ID is very convenient. I mostly use it for online college courses, graduate in November, and it operates perfectly for all of my needs! Ordering another one tonight for my daughter.

I was kind of iffy reading the reviews, I love the macbook especially for a first time user! I knock 2 stars off- It did not come with a charger, not for sure if it was suppose to come with one? - It have minor crack on top right of the screen & a small minor stain below the left side of the keyboard. Overall- It works good as new! Highly Recommend to a friend! :)

Bought this on sale. It came in near mint condition, only 1 tiny surface scratch on bottom. Everything works perfectly, battery health is 97%. Even the charger and cable were new and Apple brand
