Great buy!

I was hesitant to buy a refurbished laptop but mine came in perfect condition. Not a single scratch. Runs perfectly and battery life is great.

Terrible! Not Amazon Seller! Do NOT buy!
By geauxstate on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2021
I bought this computer last week. I was happily surprised when it arrived the next day (early). When I took it out of the box, it looked perfect. That is where the good things ended. The battery was not fully charged, but that was ok. I plugged it in, but it did not charge while I was working on it. When I removed the charger, the battery icon said that the charger was still plugged in (it was not). I tried charging while the laptop was closed. No dice. The battery charging icon never went away, no matter if the charging cord was plugged in or not. Then one time I went to open the screen, and the entire screen was filled with horizontal lines. Mind you, I had only had the laptop for two days and had been on it for an extremely minimal amount of time. I immediately contacted the seller, Who I assumed was Amazon, but it turned out it was a third-party seller. The seller told me that I should take the computer to a computer repair shop and have it assessed and then send them the report. I informed the seller that by live in a rural area and an extremely far away from any type of shop like that. In addition to that, the seller wanted me to take pictures of every angle of the computer and send them to her. I then requested to just have a replacement computer sent to me since I just received this last week. The seller informed me that they do not do this, and told me that I could return the computer for a refund, but I would have to again send them pictures. I’m extremely frustrated by this entirely process. I received a defective product and the seller should step up and try to make it right instead of putting all of the burden on me. I would definitely not recommend to anyone and would NEVER, EVER buy from this seller.

I never do reviews because I usually don’t have the time but I absolutely have for this MacBook , I was so skeptical so scared so nervous to purchase it because of how mixed the reviews were but I really needed a laptop for school so I prayed took a chance and brought it in “good condition” from platinum deals , it arrived on time and it CAME IN AMAZING CONDITION omg like I was so impressed there are some scratches but it’s too tiny to detect and I put a case cover over it , it came dead so please charge it immediately and the battery is okay the first night it did drain a bit fast but I had apps downloading so probably that’s why also it’s an 2019 model which in general the battery isn’t as long as the newer models but it still works super well ! Came in normal condition with a cycle count of “286” so pretty good I must say . Screen is in good condition no scratches and everything runs smoothly oh it doesn’t come with the latest update so you have to do that yourself but yeah other than that it’s a good buy and I recommend getting if you just want a MacBook I got it to mostly use it do schoolwork and assignments and it works perfectly for it . Ahhh so happy with my purchase ❤️

As always apple products are amazing , the design is nice and performance has been very good . The battery life is very surprising and last long with one charge , keyboard touch is very subtle and nice . Great storage capacity as well.
Came fully functional, love it!!

When I first turned it on, the language was in Arabic or something, which was kinda random. I was able to just mess around & select things until it let me change it to English. Once I got it all set up, it was really nice. I like that it’s very sleek, both in physical design and regarding the OS. This was one of the main reasons I wanted a Macbook. It starts up really fast and works well for a used Macbook. It has some trouble playing video games and stuff, but it’s obviously not built for that kind of program. The display is really nice too!! The colors are vibrant and the resolution is clear, which is important for me since I have kinda bad eyesight and sometimes forget my glasses. It’s a bit heavy to carry in my backpack, but it’s fine since I have a really nice one from BAGSMART (also available on Amazon, highly recommend!) that holds it without budging. I’m still learning how to use MacOS since I grew up exclusively using Windows, but I’ve found that it’s actually pretty similar, just laid out more efficiently (for my needs, at least). The shipping time didn’t take any longer than any other third-party refurbished tech seller, in fact I would probably say it was faster!! I’ve seen some reviews on refurbished laptops that say they came with the wrong charger, but mine came with the correct one. Obviously I can’t guarantee the same seller will be listing this device when you get it, but I definitely liked my experience with the one that sent mine!!
Perfect condition

This is incredible!! Really good price for an even better laptop. Came in perfect condition although it’s slightly slow after just turning it on.

Unit shipped quickly and has been working decently since having it. A small chip was on it, but that's to be expected for refurbished units and it doesn't affect its usage at all. Great overall.
Buying a new laptop today after 2 years
By Tia - Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2025

I had this laptop for almost 2 years. There were moments where the computer would randomly shut off, the battery wouldn’t charge for periods of times, it would be so slow and can barely process anything. And the keyboard could be sometimes hard to click on as well. The quality and color is pretty, probably the only redeemable traits about the laptop. And it’s durable. Other than that, you don’t need to waste your money on this
No charger but works great!

Got it for my little sister so she can do her schoolwork on a computer that runs better and hold more storage, she absolutely loves it. Only downside is it doesn’t come with a charger but that’s an easy $20 fix with a run to any convenience store.
Love my new laptop!!!

So far so good on my refurbished Mac! This is my first experience with any laptop that is not windows or a Chromebook. There are definitely differences between a windows computer and a Mac but I knew that going in. I am in love with the speed of the Mac which is one of the main reasons I decided to go with Mac over windows this computer purchase. It makes me so happy to have my computer start as soon as I open in instead of dealing with slow spinning wheel of death waiting for everything to load. The transition of my other apple products from my phone to the MacBook to seamless and amazing that it is done automatically. I was impressed with the condition of my refurbished purchase and would recommend ordering this way to everyone. I have not had any performance issues at all considering it's a used MacBook and the battery life/performance is great. So happy with my decision!
