Very happy with the condition of the laptop, though it came with a few scuffs and dirty marks which were easy enough to wipe off. The charging cable was also a little dirty, but easy to clean. The delivery was fantastic. It came 2 days after I ordered it, standard delivery, a whole 3-4 days sooner than expected.

I would say it should have been listed as fair to good rather than excellent. It has quite a few scratches and the charger is slightly broken, although working ok. The connection between the charging cable and the computer is a bit wobbly too. The computer though is working fine so far, and at the end of the day that is what matters most. I must confess the price was pretty reasonable, so I am happy to keep it as is, and also I'm off to the UK with it soon, so I have little time to send it back. I do think though that your suppliers are sometimes a bit slapdash, and this needs checking out.

Exactly as specified! I love it. Battery health is also okay. I just think they could have cleaned it before delivery—both the MacBook and the charger were dirty. However, it was well packaged and works perfectly.

Absolutely perfect for my needs!. The Air is quite a lot lighter to carry around which is important to me as when my old Pro was in the zip case, along with the charging cable, mouse etc it was surprisingly heavy. I cannot find fault with anything regarding this unit. I am an older user who takes my Mac with me when visiting and the price of this unit meant I could replace my Pro without the enormous expense of a new unit. THANK YOU.
