When it arrived, the MacBook was very well packed! This is my third Renewed Mac from Amazon. So I do know that there are going to be some minor defects or issues.That being said….honestly, I was impressed!It’s almost like new…with a small problem. When I went to remove the sticker on the laptop,(it had a sticker for inventory I’m assuming) the whole sticker and back portion of the screen aluminum side started to peel.Now, I did wonder why it felt a bit different than my other macs….and this was why.I really don’t think the seller did this on purpose, rather it was done by the original owner? To be fair, it was well done, almost didn’t notice it, until I started to remove the inventory sticker.Still not a deal breaker.Underneath was one scratch, most likely from normal use. It’s not a big deal, nor does it affect the how it functions.The MacBook is running in the latest OS, which I downloaded with no issue and also installed all my necessary programs with no problems!I do have a program that does bog it down sometimes, but I really feel that it’s how I’m using it not the MacBook.My only concern is the battery. Seems to die rather quickly for a Mac. But again, it’s mainly used at home for my music programs…and it’s very easy to switch out an old battery or memory on these machines (hint hint).The screen is perfect, no blemishes or scratches.  And the keys show the tinniest wear, again, not a big deal.It did come with a new charger and cable! Brand new Apple charger! A big win! The last ones I bought came with aftermarket chargers and cables.Like I said, small minimal blemishes that really don’t affect performance and it looks amazing!I also did add a protective cover…Smokey gray! And it looks very elegant!Update!Still working just as well as the day I bought it!Worth every penny!😃😃😃
