This laptop is amazing. I bought it to replace a 11 year old MacBook Air and I am not disappointed. I don’t know if it was actually “refurbished”. I had to get rid of several spots left over from what I could tell were stickers (using isopropyl alcohol).Other than that the laptop is in great shape. Only 2 minor scratches on a couple of edges that are hard to see.My biggest concern is that it seems misaligned (barely). It is so minor that I will just deal with it though. I doubt it was dropped because there would have been a dent. It is most likely that it is a manufacturer defect (I hope).Battery life is over 94%Update 2 months later.. I don't regret this purchase at all. This laptop has been trouble free and it will probably last 10+ Years like my last Macbook Air.
