I bought this MacBook in excellent condition and hey let me tell you...  this is in excellent condition. I am very very pleased with this purchase. Nothing seems out of the ordinary out of the box. Battery life is normal and it is running quick and smoothly. I felt such a huge sigh of relief that I had to write this review. Maybe the bad reviews are when people buy them in acceptable. or good condition or maybe they just get bad models but. if there's one thing I can say that is I HAVE A MACBOOK BABY WOOOOOOO!!!
