Earlier this year I had purchased a similar Macbook from another seller - great experience, so I decided to purchase another for my wife - Used another vendor, laptop came, and the screen was glitchy, sent it back, got a refund, purchased another (from a different vendor). This one came dead on arrival - No POST. Sent it back. Purchased THIS one - its been working great, no issues. Not giving 5 star on the battery life because it only last a couple of hours (to be expected on a laptop of this age). No blemishes or major scratches and my wife has been very happy with it. So, long story short, had some bad experiences with other sellers, sent back some bad models, ended up with a winner!
