I've had Windows computers for the last 30 years.Not so much recently but over the years I spent countless hours self-diagnosing problems, restoring to an earlier date,  rebooting, going into BIOS trying to figure things out. Plus don't forget, having to purchase the new Windows operating system disks when the old versions wouldn't work with certain programs.I learned a lot about computers but eventually you have to admit it's a lot of wasted time that shouldn't have been. I'm sure I brought a lot of this on my self as I am the type that likes to try to fix things without taking the machine to a shop.  I recently have been looking to upgrade my monitor as the one I have is sort of small. That's when these Apple computers caught my eye. I've had good luck with refurbished products from Amazon. Whether it be the 8-inch Show the Ring Doorbell or the Echo Speaker, when I get things they're just like new.  The first one I bought was about $250 from Woot (seller)It was a late 2014 Apple computer. It had issues where the hard drive was not working correctly. I thought everything was okay but after about a week a message popped up and said not enough disc space even though it had a one terabyte hard drive.It had a few minor scratches on the plastic benzyl around the screen but I could live with that if the computer had just worked correctly. After returning I continue to look and found this early 2019 model.Seems like I paid around $550.This one comes in an original white Apple computer box inside of a larger brown box.So far everything's good I guess I've had it about a month.Cosmetically it's perfect. I tried to take some pictures to show close-ups, No scratches anywhere and the screen is perfect. These computers boot up in no time almost like turning on a tablet. For years I've been standoffish about Apple products because I knew Windows and thought that it may be difficult to learn another operating system. Surprisingly with apple everything's pretty much straight forward I felt comfortable with it after a week or so.Basically what I use it for is just to pay bills online. I know you can do everything on your phone nowadays but it still neat to have this toy to sit down in front of. For me the 21 1/2  screen is plenty big and apples retina display, as they call it, as unbelievably clear.Overall very well satisfied !
