Apple 2019 MacBook Air with 1.6GHz Intel Core i5, 13-inch, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD Storage, Gold (Renewed)

Looks physically nearly perfect. There is some kind scratchy adhesive “skin” that’s been put on the top cover… I cannot tell if it is stock to the computer or something added on later or to potentially hide something on the actual surface underneath….? It’s coming up a touch along the edges…. But..: it took me awhile to even notice it and I am not taking it off. In fact I ordered a new case for this and it gets here tomorrow.As for software, I hit one or two snags but one of them appears to be fixed while the other isn’t the fault of the computer itself the fault of the place I work blocking simple tasks like logging into email. Not computers fault.I used this fairly extensively all day, zip zapping around like usual and did not really encounter any interferences or hiccups. Messages works; FaceTime works, music works, iCloud photos are synced, a few things mirror from the phone if wanted, so the device to device communication works… it came with a new looking charger, which worked immediately.I would not say it holds battery as well as my older 2015. I think the retina display chews up a lot of power. I also was on FaceTime for about an hour. Heavy battery usage. I can generally get through half my work day on a charge before I need to get it plugged in. I'm a teacher and I have this open almost the entire day.RIP USB ports :( I used those pretty extensively as well. I miss those. Only think I like about the USB C is that its the same as chromebook ports so there's always chargers around that work. My old had a MAC only port.Otherwise this was a really good purchase. I know by tonight it will take a dump bc jinxes.Overall pretty happy so far. :)Update: It did not take a dump. I have been using it for about a month and a half. Day in and day out. In school, out of school, tutoring, face Time, email, Google classroom, etc. I charge it each day. At the exact moment I am typing this, the charger stopped working lol Can't make it up. The charger looked sus from the beginning. It worked though so I couldn't complain. But the little silver piece that actually going into the charging port was always a little loose looking, almost slightly crooked. I always figured id get another one. But since that USB C is so common chargers are nothing. Overall still REALLY happy with this purchase.Update 3 months later: Still going strong. Still doesn't hold a charge as long as my other one but it isnt terrible. I just did a shtld of work on Canva for about 40 min and I have a ton of battery left. Usage is fine, no issues with anything major. I suddenly couldn't get into my apple ID when I had to change a password, it just short ciruited everything and i couldnt load messages app, the sign on would just circle around and around. I was able to force quit and shut down entirely. Then restart and use my phones hotspot and it worked. Who knows. But that was probably the only real issue lately. Very Very happy with this purchase I can't even imagine why anyone buys a computer at $1600 dollars when we have access to such good refurbs or older models.

what pisses me off the most about this package is they try to cover up stuff that was not listed. I paid for silver yet you went and bought a gray silver skin cover to put it on a laptop to make it over. I could’ve did that myself mind you silver and gray are different prices? Also, there’s no stem on the Apple skin is peeling off. The packaging was poor. I literally had it for 24 hours not even 24 hours cause I returned it immediately within 24 hours I took pictures upon unboxing because you’re not about to play me. This is the worst purchase ever and I do not recommend. my daughter has gray already so when mines came, that’s how I knew immediately upon opening that there was something wrong that there was a skin cover over it. The true color is silver, even without taking off the skin you can see with the poor covering that they did do on the edges. You can see the silver coming out . i guess someone bit off the stem. i’d give zero stars just for the deception alone
