Just received my renewed MacBook Air. Honestly, it seems brand new. No blemishes whatsoever, came in the original box, original apple charger. Battery life is 100%. It's so fast!!!!!! Loads programs and webpages incredibly well. I downloaded and installed Adobe Lightroom in less than 2 minutes where my other computer took at least a half an hour. I'm very happy with it so far. Time will tell but I'm trilled that I decided to go "renewed" because I saved a bunch of money for basically a new laptop.
