I received this 1 day early. I plugged it to charge it. The screen went blank, and I could not figure out why it did that. The keyboard were lit, so it had power. I saw an online tutorial: I accidently turned the brightness to 0. Easily fixed.It works as advertised. I could not see any imperfections or damage of any kind. It is a very good value.The only negative (not a deal-breaker) the power charging brick is an off-brand unit. It still does the job, but for the money I saved off of a new MacBook Pro, I cannot complain to loudly about it.
