Very similar to my old Macbook, but with a bit more memory, a different colour and a French keyboard. So far, I'm very happy, everything's going well.

First of all, very fast delivery. I have been using this macbook for a few months now and I am extremely satisfied with it. I ordered it in "fair condition", there are a few bumps on the underside of the computer but you have to look closely, from a distance it looks like new. As for the inside of the Mac: nothing to complain about. This is my first Apple computer and I can clearly see the difference with computers from other brands: the speed is unbeatable and so is the performance. No bells and whistles, fast operation. I also have an iPhone and the two devices communicate perfectly well. I was also a bit worried that this model was too old (2017) for today (2024) but for student use (lots of Excel) and personal use it works perfectly well. In short, I highly recommend Apple computers and what's more this refurbisher is very satisfactory. It took me a long time to switch to Apple for computers but I don't regret it at all and considering the new price, refurbishing is an excellent alternative for a first purchase.

After a nightmare experience with one I bought a couple of months ago (and had to return), this time it was all good. The item arrived faster than expected (ie next day) and looks to be in as-new condition. Had a few issues setting it up but that was just down to the usual software quirks. It's now up and running and is excellent, reminding me of how much I miss these lightweight little Macbook 12s and wish Apple would launch an updated one.

The quality of this refurbishment is astounding! Next day delivery included with expected time slot (nice one DPD - excellent service) 1 cycle on the battery so it must’ve had a replacement battery. Minimal marks across it. In great condition. I’m very happy with it!

I got the "Very Good" quality and it only has a small nick on the right corner and small scratches from use. It works perfectly and comes with instructions on how to set the keyboard to your language and how to make the battery last longer. Unbeatable value for money.
