Product Description

Pure invention. We designed the new MacBook to be not only thinner and lighter, but more functional and intuitive than ever before. To do that, we couldn't just shave a millimeter here, a gram there. So we started from scratch, reinventing each essential element as part of a singular, deceptively simple design. It's everything there is to love about Mac. In its purest form ever. A keyboard reimagined from A to Z. From the beginning, our goal was to design a full, uncompromising Mac experience. And a full-size keyboard is an essential part of that. In order to fit a full-size keyboard in the incredibly thin MacBook, we designed the keyboard from the ground up. Each component has been rethought specifically for the new MacBook, from the underlying mechanism to the curvature of the surface of each key to the distinctive new typeface. The result is a keyboard dramatically thinner than its predecessor. Now when your finger strikes the key, it goes down and bounces back with a crisp, consistent motion that makes typing with precision a breeze. Butterfly mechanism. Traditional keyboards use a scissor mechanism, which tends to wobble around the edges. This creates a lack of precision when you strike anywhere except the center of the key. We needed to reduce key wobbling for a keyboard this thin; otherwise, striking a key off-center could result in the keycap hitting bottom before a keystroke registers. So we designed an entirely new butterfly mechanism.

Update - my computer cant hold a charge.
This review is based off the first hour I’ve had with the computer. When it arrived it was dead but it’s charging now with no issue and can hold battery. This computer is flawless. No scratches, all the keys work and are intact, no damage at all. Feels and looks like a new computer. I’m amazed. I feel like I got a 1600$ laptop for $300…. OH YA I DID 😆!If you are wanting a Mac without wanting to pay for a Mac this is literally what you need. Buy this! I recommend the seller buyspry their refurbished items are flawless everytime I’ve ever ordered from them. AGGG I’m so happy! Thank you!UPDATE: 90 days later my laptop cannot hold battery and there is an error message that pops up saying that service is required to continue using. Kinda upset I'm pretty sure my warranty is over just in time for this malfunction. Was a good laptop for 3 months.
Thank you for your feedback

1.0 out of 5 stars “Excellent” quality
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2022
I’ll keep this short. I was happy when I received this laptop, however, upon closer examination I noticed some minor damage to the screen. Extremely disappointing considering it was advertised as “refurbished 'excellent' quality”. I could have paid a considerable amount less for this laptop if not falsely advertised. No electronic with any damage whatsoever to the screen can rationally be described as excellent quality as issues like that only escalate over time. There’s really no argument here. Quality control guy needs a stern talking to. Wack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent MacBook
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2019
I was worried after reading mixed reviews if I should purchase it or not. However, because it was backed by Amazon Return policy I decided to take a chance. I completely love it! It comes in a generic white box with a new mac charger. It does not have any other ports except for the power port. The condition was extremely good. Compares to a brand new MacBook. It turned on well and fast. I created my own profiles, installed the new system update, etc. just like a new laptop. I haven't had any issues with the "heating up" problem that I read about. It gets warm, but I've had other laptops and all of them get warm when using for long periods of time, so the warmth that I get is considered normal for the amount of time that I leave it on. I use this computer for literally everything. College, work, homework, research, random web browsing. Speakers are great too. Added a picture, excuse my sticker and my keyboard cover, I also covered my screen, but for reference it is great.
