I was concerned buying this due to certain reviews. Once purchased it took about 1 week to get here. On opening it the charger did not work, that isn’t a big deal to me because of the fact I have another charger.  If it were to be someone else it would be a different story. It was dead and took about 5 minutes to turn on when plugged in. When I looked closer at it I noticed a few scratches and marks but nothing I would be concerned or upset about, let’s be real it is a refurbished 2017 Mac Book. I was able to login quickly and everything has been working so far. I did have to do a software update because it wasn’t updated since 2021.All in all, I think it is worth the money. If you look at the price on a brand new Mac Book and don’t need anything fancy this is definitely the choice!
