I’ve been a PC person my whole life and this is my first venture into an Apple laptop. I was willing to risk the money to buy an old laptop, and this refurbished one was in excellent condition.  It’s not super fast nor has high quality graphics, but it works fine. I mainly use it to surf the Internet and stream movies.  I bought a 4K adapter to connect an HDMI cable to watch movies on my TV and the picture is great. I highly recommend getting a 4K adapter if you’re going to connect it to another monitor or TV screen.  The battery life is strong and feels like how a new laptop battery would last.
