I bought a MacBook in "good" condition, but I received an excellent one. In my opinion, the battery is also as good as new, if not new. Many thanks, the purchase was worth it!

The device arrived in the condition described on the website so I am absolutely satisfied with the purchase! On first use the battery overheated, which has not happened since. The charger supplied in the package is not an original.

Very good except for the left shift key which doesn't respond very well. You have to press very hard.
