I didn't want to spend $2,400-$2,800 on a brand new macbook that would have tons of flashy features that I didn't need, plus uses all the new material and cheap labor. This computer has been working just as well as any other for the two months that I've had it. It has a slight ding in the body and one in the corner of the screen, but nothing major or concerning. The only issue that I had was with the charger, which would become so hot I was worried that it was a fire hazard, and it could not keep up with charging the battery when the computer was working hard. I contacted the seller about this and they rectified the problem, so therefore they and this product deserve the 5 stars.
