Apple MacBook Air MD711LL/A 11.6-inch Laptop - Intel Core i5 1.3GHz - 4GB RAM - 128GB SSD (Renewed)

Some of these reviews almost made me not order this, but I’m glad I did. People forget you are getting a refurbished laptop that was made in 2014, and used by someone else for a time. It’s still an Apple MacBook Air that is a great value for your money. Mine is in excellent condition and booted up without any problems whatsoever. In the time it took my 2015 PC (that was not used that much) to factory reset, my MacBook boot up, got all the initial settings taken care of, and downloaded the latest OS Catalina as well as some other apps. There is a little bit of cosmetic damage that is incredibly small that you would have to look for to see, but otherwise the laptop looks great. Considering that the product comes with a 90 day warranty where you can return it if it’s not in good shape, I would say this is a good purchase if you are looking to buy and apple laptop but don’t want, or can’t, buy the newest ones.

WOW MY APPLE MACBOOK Laptop WORKS WONDERFUL SCREEN QUALITY NICE AND CLEAR KEYBOARD LIGHT UP QUALITY . I WOULD ADVICE FOR EVERYONE TO GET APPLE MacBook You cant beat it Great. I love MY Apple MacBook Laptop 💻 😋 😍 👍💯💯💯💯🫡🫡🫡🍏🍏💪💪💪

Even at 7 years old, if you are an Apple user, this will be better than virtually any Chromebook under $500. I do not sync photos, since they take up a large portion, but I love being able to use iMessage, FaceTime, and the same interface as other Apple products. It is still able to receive updates, and is easy to travel with. I upgraded to Big Sur, which has run well. Mine came with minor scratches and some wear, but overall looks really good. They did provide a new apple MagSafe charger, which is appreciated. All keys worked and are clean, the hinge is decent, and the screen was in perfect condition. The battery life was horrible, so I picked up a replacement at a local store after the one from Amazon never showed. You can get a replacement from reputable third-parties for under $100, that should give several years of additional life to this netbook. I paid only $35 for mine locally. The new battery lasts for about 7 hours for streaming and moderate use, that is not bad! I also purchased thermal paste and updated the paste in the Air, which helped with cooling. I have a MacBook Pro M1 but don't like traveling with it for work (working in schools often yields more wear and tear). This Air is perfect to throw into a case and use for meetings and light tasks on the go. Even between the two, if you are using it mainly for checking emails, writing up documents, etc., the average user will see very little difference in performance. This is not made for gaming, but it can run older computer games without issue, albeit a little hot. If you can get this for $150-200, that is a good deal. I was surprised with an 8gb memory model. If you can find an 8gb memory model, replace the battery, and redo the thermal paste (iFixit has great tutorials), you will likely get 3-5 more years out of this laptop without issue!

The computer arrived and seemed in good shape, but after thorough review problems started to arise. Screen was damaged, bottom cover was loose, screws too tight that damaged cased and battery lasted around 1.5 hours. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg. When I set it up, I got a message saying that “null” had remote management access, I thought it was an old user thing, skipped the step and moved on. Some hours later I formatted it, as I could not remove an user from there, and after doing so I got a message saying “This computer belongs to the Lexington school district”, and it clarified they had access to all the info, internet traffic, and right and access to edit or delete my files. I googled and turned out that is a setting of computers sold to companies. This cannot be undone by the user as apple checks the computer with its servers and detects its on the remote management list. Now you may think because of the amount of positive reviews, that I got a bad one, but your chances are 8 out of 10 of getting a good one, but it’s not like that. It’s not that most people got a good one, it’s that most people don’t know they have a bad one... and they won’t know until they completely format it, which the average user doesn’t do. If you bypass the message on first setup, you ,say continue to use it without knowing the computer belongs to an organization and they can monitor it, block it, erase it whenever they want. If you are ok with that, on top of it being a severely damaged computer, go for it, but please bare in mind that the amount of positive reviews is more of a consequence of user unawareness than of quality products. If you google “remote management MacBook” you will find out more about this. STAY AWAY. The fact that they are backed by Amazon means nothing, as I talked to Amazon customer service and they were quick to say they had nothing to do with the process of the product, they just select some sellers. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU DONT WANT TO END UP WITH GOODS OF QUESTIONABLE ORIGIN IN YOUR HANDS.

Item arrived in blank discreet packaging and was well packaged and well protected. The physical appearance and condition of this MacBook was as close to new as could be and the performance the same. There was not one scuff mark, scratch, smudge, or dent whatsoever. There were two factors that gave away that it was refurbished--battery life doesn't seem to last as long as it should which at this point is not a huge deal, but within 6 mos to a year, may become problematic and require a battery replacement. This isn't a huge deal for me because my husband and I own an iPhone/laptop repair shop and if need be, can perform the replacement of the battery fairly easily and inexpensively. The second is that if you look really closely, it appears possibly that the screen had been replaced due to the rubber around the outside of the screen being slightly out of position and when you open it up, sometimes there is a lot of play and is a tad bit loose only at certain angles, which might actually be normal for MacBook Air laptops. This is my first MacBook so I don't know much about what a brand new one would perform like but far as I am concerned, this was a 100% success and I couldn't be happier with it! I would highly recommend this product by this JemJem Renewed seller to anyone looking to purchase a Next-To-New as possible refurbished MacBook Air or Mac product but not willing to pay retail or Brand New price for it. It is a great bargain and I would definitely purchase it again from there-in fact, I probably will never purchase a brand new Mac product if I can get the same item or similar item for a fraction of the price and basically same condition.

It works perfectly so far

Perfect, Absolutely Perfect!

I received this device in a timely manner, but was unfortunately unable to access it as it was still being remotely managed by a school district. After hours of reading, I realized there was no DIY fix for this in order to protect the original owner of the device. I contacted the school district (info was provided on the device) as well as the seller. Turns out, the school district had a few devices not get completely cleared before reselling. The problem was resolved via the school district and completing a reinstall of Mac OS. Since then, I have been pleasantly surprised by the speed and battery life of the device. I use it for minimal Google App work and web browsing. Also, one must look very closely to see the minor scuffs on the device…you can hardly tell it is renewed versus brand new! The seller was quick to respond when I was unable to access the device, as well. I would definitely recommend this MacBook Air to anyone looking for a reliable device to complete basic tasks on.
