I bought this when I broke my old MacBook right as the semester started, and I didn't want the stress of learning a new OS system, but couldn't afford a new one.Of course the laptop has a couple minor cosmetic flaws, but overall the computer is speedy and able to run any software I need. The major downfall is it has an awful battery. It charges and loses charge very quickly. Can maybe on and running for 5/6 hours MAX before it needs a charge. Buyers should defiantly be considering this depending on what you use/need the laptop for.Overall it got me through the semester and it still works, I plan on using it until I can't anymore. I just charge ALOT and travel with a battery pack and cord at all times.
