A MacBook pro was also purchased at the same time. Both are in good condition. The appearance was like new, and I can use it for work with peace of mind because it was purchased after it had been reconditioned. In particular MacBook Air is very troubled when a problem occurs because I carry it for a class. I can use it with peace of mind on that point.

Is it because it is a foreign company, or is the Japanese translation a little strange and suspicious? I thought it was a bit weird, but I got the MacBook I wanted for 40,000 yen! And I am very satisfied with the quick delivery with no scratches or dents. Also, I was able to use the student discount, which was very helpful for a student with no money!
