12/20/23I've used a Mac back in 2016 but had to trade and get a new device cause it eventually started acting up/becoming slow. That's why I wanted to specifically get the M1 silicon cause I wanted to get back into it.Now thie Mac Air is thrilling awesome for a refurbished one, came with 100 charge Cycle Normal battery life, and a maximum capacity of 96% which I'll say that is Awesome and above the 80% mark.The body of the MBA has very minimal edge scratches that you barely notice unless you specifically pick it up and look at it.  It came with a different charger than what Apple hands out but the charger is from one of apples licensed distributor as well. It has a 65W output which is brilliant.I have been using it for 4 days now and mostly coding; pycharm amd Vscode and editing musical pieces via ableton and GarageBand and I gotta say this 13.3inch m1 can handle its own without stress btw and still has space for more.Only thing I am currently battling is fingerprints on the screen like when opening which can be annoying sometimes but with a little microfiber cloth, it goes away anything else can easily remove it.Battery life with this is legit, I've had it for 4 days and only had to charge it twice; the day I setup and 2 days later after it dropped to 20%. My usage was daily for about 8 to 9hrs or 10 a day whilst actively coding, watching YouTube,  preparing patches with mainstage or ableton and keeping these guys minimized and not closed whilst working some other applications. The day to day battery life is exactly what I want, stress of charging a PC in the day time is annoying enough as I have to move around a lot with it so this solves a great problem for me.I tested all the ports to make sure they are working and they all did, tried out all.my keys to make sure I had no lagging, no delayed keys or dead key which I had none.Bluetooth, wifi, airdrop, speakers, track pad, Webcam (not the greatest in dark lighting but still ok; don't bother me cause I use it once a blue moon).All in all I've tested things that could go wrong in a refurbished computer right out of the box so right now it's just seeing if it can last a month  and more with my daily use without it going haywire or anything  cause refund tends to do that but I have faith in this one that at least I'll be holding unto it a year and more before I do an upgrade.I'll drop an update 2 or 3 weeks into using it to compare my reviews.My seller was BuySPRY, awesome job with packaging and shipping and documentation. Definitely recommend y'all!I'll be giving updates before my 90 day mark in case anything does eventually happen which I'm hoping not.Update Jan 19 2024Had to return the macbook air to get a refund cause I could not get a replacement.  Reason I had to return is because after a couple weeks,  I noticed whenever I plugged in the charger,  it kept saying battery not charging even when I swapped Cords, check power outlet .It just kept saying battery not charging and maybe after 30 minutes stayed charging again mind you I'm not using the PC barely Anything running in the background.One point PC was closed completely on 19% and then I plugged it in and I heard the little tone that comes on when you plug it in.Only to show up an hr 30 minutes later and battery was still on 19% and did not even charge at all... still plugged in, outlet working fine. So I had to unplug, plug back unplug and back again before I could see progress in charging.I'm sorry I can't deal with that within a month of just owning itWho's to say what will happen 5 months down the line. Hence my reduced review to 3 stars.I guess it had an issue after all or maybe not but I can't have that within a month or so.
