Want to start of by saying that I got this MacBook around July and for the most part everything was working pretty good. I will say that I am impressed with the performance and this Mac has been very useful for school/college work but there is a major downside which is the battery life. Few months in after purchasing it would sometimes shut off on me randomly even when the battery hasn’t fully run out yet. It would turn back on after I plug it in and would go back to normal after. The battery also ran out very quickly just after minimal use and also had “service recommended” next to the battery icon indicating that the battery was poor. I sort of waited it out to get it checked as it was still running until my Mac suddenly shut down on me completely and not being functional. Even when I plugged it to charge, it would not turn on (I tried two different Mac chargers on each port still didn’t work). When I tried pushing the power button it would show the empty red battery symbol. Oddly enough, it suddenly had a mind of its own and turned on when I plugged it again but the battery icon was stuck at 1% and said battery is not charged even when it is literally plugged in. When I would unplug the charger from the port it went back to it’s completely shut down state. I finally decided to set an appointment at Apple to get this situation fixed. When I went there, the guy that assisted me ran a  diagnostic and said that it was definitely the battery that is at fault and needs to be replaced.UPDATE: Got the battery replaced by Apple and everything is working good and normal as it should be. Paid about $273 for replacement (expensive but expected.) It was the faulty battery after all.
