Going through most of these reviews I was reluctant to buy this for my wife as a Christmas present. A lot of people were reporting a completely dead or unusable product. I took my chances and maybe it was just me but I got a basically new Mac-Book, I've been testing it and updating it for over 2 days now -  not a single scratch, everything works fine, come with original charger. Haven't ran into one problem yet.My one and only complaint which is virtually impossible when buying something renewed, is the battery life. Even then I was quite surprised that the battery life on the one I bought was maintained very well. It runs about 5-7 hours with one charge. Which is outstanding in my opinion for a renewed product.I would totally recommend buying this, and if it's not what it was advertised, you can always return and get another one within 90 days.
