I'm a photographer returning to work on a budget & was in great need of a new MacBook since my last one had a damaged screen.When I received this MacBook everything checked out okay. It came in great condition and operated fine. However, after a few days, it shut off on me without warning and kept giving me the signal of it needing to charge. I thought it was because the night before I accidentally left it on charge, which is something I try not to do.I tried two old charger cords that I had, as well as troubleshooting it as directed online, but it didn't work. When I contacted the seller they told me to try the same stuff that I saw online to troubleshoot. I also took it to a computer tech and he told me I would need a new MacBook. I tried again taking it to another computer tech and all it needed was a new charger cord and adapter. this cost me $130.Since then I've been having more issues with it.1. It has to be kept on charge to stay on.2. It sometimes shuts off on its own while on charge.3. The USB ports doesn't operate as it should. God forbids my laptop shuts off because the charger was accidentally disconnected or just shuts off on its own, I would have to keep trying the other ports for them to work or restart the computer and wait about 15 minutes for them to kick in.4. A few days ago, out of nowhere, the laptop or USB port had a glitch and completely formatted my SD Card with 2 recent photoshoots on it before I got the chance to transfer them over. Thank heavens I was able to get the photos back. I had to pay close to $90 to download a software that would allow me to access and  restore the deleted photos.I did contact the seller during the refund period, however, I live in Turks & Caicos where anything we order would not be delivered to our doors. We would have to have it sent to a friend's address and have them bring it over whenever they can or have it sent to a company's US address and then pay additional duties and freight on the items. Returning items are not easy and can be very costly. So, to return this MacBook & get the refund, I would have to go through one of the shipping company's and pay to have it sent over & then order a new one which takes time away from me getting work done and more than likely turn away clients. The seller did ask how much it would cost to have it sent over, but after considering the time frame I may be without a laptop and getting work done, I just stuck it out and trying to get the most out of what I paid for.
