my first MAC, so I was impressed with the OS set-up, and the speed seems to be on par with my similarly equipped PC. so despite the refurbished label, and you don't get the slick packaging of factory apple products, but I can indeed say this is the best computer investment I've ever made. runs my adobe CC apps perfectly. The storage is very adequate as well. I do wish the keyboard was rechargeable and had the number pad, but it does work great with AA batteries. Mouse is rechargeable with lightning cable included. Very-happy
