I used a MacBook Air at work and a Windows at home, so "anytime I closed a Mac, I opened a Windows".  Well, following retirement I left my Mac for the new person, being content with my Dell Laptop.  I missed the speed and long battery life of my Mac, and despite having both A Windows laptop and desktop, I couldn't resist a $200 Mac.  Having read the reviews, I expected a few scratches, but was pleasantly surprised by its flawless appearance.  Its function is nearly as good, with all the speed I had experienced with my work Mac, and, considering this machine is 10 years old, the battery can go for half a day sans recharge.  If you want a Mac, without a Mac price, buy "renewed"!
