The battery life is impressive too. I can go hours without needing to recharge, which is great for long work sessions or when I'm traveling. The Retina display is stunning, providing crisp and clear visuals for all my work and entertainment needs.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with my MacBook Air purchase. It's a reliable and stylish laptop that has truly enhanced my productivity and enjoyment of using a computer. If you're in the market for a new laptop, the MacBook Air from Amazon is definitely worth considering!
After examining the physical appearance we made sure we’re getting the right specifications, too. To see basic information about the Mac, choose Apple menu > About This Mac. In this case, this info was just as described.
The battery is in great condition too and it last for so many hours, I don’t know exactly how many because I never let the battery to run out of power.
Also We tested all ports:
* Two USB ports
* 1 Thunderbolt port
* 1 MagSafe power port
* 1 SDXC card slot
All five ports are working perfectly., as well as the 3.5 mm headphone jack.
The Stereo speaker and the microphones are working fine too. The Full-size backlit keyboard is fantastic The backlit is sooo bright, but we know to pessF5 to lower keyboard brightness and F6 to raise it. That’s so simple.
The MacBook came with “Catalina version 10.15.6” and it was asking to update to “ Monterrey’ , which at first we were very hesitant to do because the laptop ran so smoothly just as it came and didn’t want to ruin it. We consulted by phone the local computer shop and they said It's best for your computer to be on the latest software update. It fixes bugs, gives some new features, but most importantly, they have tons of security fixes. So we did it and now the laptop is running just as fine as it came, just with better features.
All in all we are very happy with this purchase!!! Thanks Amazon for offering these amazing renewed laptops and many, many thanks to the vendor!!!
“Mmmmmmmmy nnnnew laptop Is unnnnnnnnusabbble”
So I reached out to Amazon support who processed a replacement. Unfortunately the replacement was also unusable because the charging port would not hold the charger in it. So unless I wanted to sit there and hold the charger for 2 hours to charge it I had to return that one too. So I reached out to support again and processed that return.
I ordered a third one hoping the third time would be the charm but alas, it was not. This one has a battery life of about 18 minutes from full charge until it’s dead. I understand these are refurbished but I have some major concerns about quality control at this point as it doesn’t seem like random bad luck that I’d get 3 laptops with major problems.
Also adding that these are listed in excellent condition however there are also significant cosmetic issues as well. Scratches, deep dents, bent corners. Not something I’d look at and say “yeah this is in excellent condition”. I hope the seller takes more care in refurbishing these in the future because it feels like they are just out here taking in a computer, restoring it to factory settings and listing it for sale. No way they could do even a cursory check of these and not notice 20 sticky keys or the inability to charge a computer.
This process has taken me about 3 weeks from placing my first order and has been a headache all around. I wouldn’t recommend these unless you are fully aware that you’ll need to dedicate time and money to making the computer you receive able to be used.

Once in I realized this laptop has been stuck on macOS high Sierra. It would not accept a operating system upstate via the app store.
It would give an error message saying "the recovery disk could not be contacted"
So I researched and during a restart push buttons *option + command + r"
Then in the internet recovery set up, you can reset the installation of Monterey.
Worked like a charm.

Sending the device back cost me $50.
It's been more than 10 days since I returned the device and I haven't heard back yet. A disgrace!
