    It was an open box, but it missed the power charger. I went to ask and they wanted me to buy a new power adapter instead of adding one. How can you charge a laptop without a charge it is like buying a phone without battery.

    It's pretty expensive and slow. I guess the 8GB RAM doesn't let you work smoothly. Whenever I opened about 10 tabs at once, messages kept popping out as insufficient memory space. 8GB RAM for a 750 USD laptop in 2023 is unreasonable by Apple.

    Received a Geek Squad “certified” apple laptop that was NOT even looked at by Geek Squad. Still had previous owner’s information, log in, couldn’t access computer at all. I ordered online so I wouldn’t have to come in store and paid extra for expedited shipping only to receive a non-functional computer and waste my time going to store to get it cleared and your so called “certification”.

    No more tornado siren and hello battery life

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased the i3 model prior to this one. The i3 ran super hot, the fans were louder than a tornado siren, and the battery life was horrible. I exchanged my old one for this beauty. The team at this store were super nice, very helpful, and was cheerful. I charged this battery up and worked from 5:30 am to 7 pm with a mix of video, web surfing, programming, and music. My battery left over was at only 48 percent or so. This machine is very fast, the display is so realistic. I have an Apple as my wallpaper, and I find myself licking my screen throughout the day because of how realistic the display is. Thank you Apple and Best Buy.
