I got this older model to learn MacOS for work, simple set up and use. I have been using it for email and internet browsing, so nothing heavy whatsoever. The battery was decent the first couple days and its not perfect since it's a referb. After less than 2 weeks of use, the battery dies within 20 minutes of being off the charger. That's even with nothing open. I do not recommend getting a refurb from Amazon whatsoever. Save up and get a new one elsewhere.
