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.

Had some issues with starting it up but once I figured it all out, everything seems so far still to be working just fine. The only issue I have rest of now is the battery doesn’t stay charged long. I feel like I’m always having to plug it in, but that would be the only issue I have with it. It did not come with any real bad marks or anything on it maybe like one or two little marks it works great.

Update 08/07/2021 Still with me and working flawless after almost 3 years, every update of iOS has been received thru these years, no issue at all. I was very concerned about buying a refurbished item from Amazon, but after received the MacBook Air yesterday I have changed my mind. First of all let me tell you the item is in great condition, small scuff and dins in the back due to the normal use, display in excellent condition as Keyboard and trackpad. Battery hold the charge for 4 hours, better than expected and described on apple website. I was able to upgrade to IOS Mojave last night without any problem. I've bought a Mosiso plastic hard cover with Keyboard cover for $13 as you can see in picture. In conclusion, despite some bad reviews I can say I got an amazing Macbook for a very good price, that means an excellent deal was made, so I recommended 100% and you can return it anyway if you are not satisfied. Happy customer

Perfect, Absolutely Perfect!

Personally I don’t think it was a waste of money. However I Camera does not work at all. I ran all the diagnosis test that you could think of. Honestly, you wouldn’t go wrong with just saving your money to buy from the actual Apple Store. There are plenty of discount out there, but with this being a refurbished computer, it’s not bad some dings and scratches. I originally got this computer because my Chromebook did not allow certain applications that I needed it for school so I took this time to go ahead and get a computer that I actually actually wanted however I really needed a WebCam to take certain test which is the main reason why I went ahead and bought this computer But I unfortunately ended up getting a zero due to the fact I did not have a camera showing while taking a test so the whole purpose of me buying this computer was pretty much waste . Best advice I can give you is to go ahead and get a pro or 13 inch MacBook Air because it’s something about the 11 that they’re just kind of outdated and even looking up online the screen kinda don’t look the same when you open the apps the 11 inch is a little bit older. I think it was probably one of the first MacBook Air to come out, so it’s a little outdated, but it still works. Pretty good especially for a refurbished computer. i’m afraid that if I buy a WebCam and try to sync it they won’t connect right which means I would’ve just wasted money buying a WebCam so I think I’m gonna just go ahead and upgrade to a pro but I’m still keeping my MacBook Air because this was a computer of mine specifically the 11 inch. A lot of the reviews are pretty mixed, but from my personal experience, you couldn’t go wrong with buying it and I’d probably buy it again honestly outside of the fact that the camera doesn’t work. Everything else runs pretty good. It is a little slow at times. When I open the text message app, I can’t seem to click on the other people that I want to text to so whoever I clicked on first when I first opened the computer that’s kind of how I’m stuck texting outside of the message, but I can’t text anybody else outside of that one person. You can’t go wrong if you just need something to type with this is pretty good considering that the other Dell and HP computers are refurbished are the same price as this one so you got an apple for the same price.
