Apple 2020 MacBook Air with 1.1GHz Intel Core i3, 13-inch, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD Storage, Silver (Renewed)

DO NOT BUY! I rarely leave reviews, but this MacBook Air deserves a warning label for anyone considering buying “renewed” devices off Amazon. What I received was a 2020 MacBook Air that looked acceptable at first glance—but within weeks, it became almost unusable.The laptop pinwheeled constantly, froze while opening even the simplest apps, and performed so poorly I couldn’t even run Apple’s standard diagnostics. The fan would spin at full speed just trying to boot into recovery mode. Eventually, I had no choice but to bring it to an Apple Store for a professional assessment.Apple’s technicians verified exactly what I suspected: catastrophic battery failure.Not mild degradation—full-blown failure severe enough to prevent proper diagnostics from running. Apple also discovered that the previous support call about this machine (months before I owned it) wasn’t even made by me, meaning whoever sold this laptop clearly knew it had serious hardware issues. Apple’s proposed resolution?A full battery replacement at my expense, since the device is out of warranty and was clearly dumped by a reseller hoping no one would look too closely. This purchase was misrepresented, defective, and ultimately a complete waste of money. If you’re considering buying a MacBook through Amazon’s reseller marketplace, do yourself a favor: don’t. The stress and repair costs aren’t worth whatever discount they dangle in front of you.

I love my MacBook Air. It was easy to setup, it’s lightweight, it’s good quality and had minimal wear and tear for a refurbished product. The battery life doesn’t last as long as i anticipated and have experienced with other apple products but I mainly use it at home so it’s not typically and issue.
