So, I bought this on a total whim, when my trusted macbook of 13 years suddenly went haywire and I needed one for work. I spent about 2 minutes looking for options; and settled on this one since the price was low and I liked the color. I half expected it to show up disheveled with ample signs of wear and tear. However, to my delight, the thing looked brand new. Felt brand new. I still can't tell the difference.  A few weeks in, and I love this thing so much. It's light and cute, and works wonderfully. I am so happy with my purchase and even happier I didn't spend thousands on a new one, when this one is just as good!
