First let me start by saying to all the loyal Mac users, don't bash me to hard🫣 I wanted a Mac that had all the connections etc; usb, ethernet port, hdmi, cd/dvd optical drive, headphone port. You see, I love music, and I heard the sound quality of a Mac is best for music. No, I'm not a producer, I just love my own music collection. The only apple device I own is an iPod touch 7th generation.My brother is a Mac fanatic. After telling him what I wanted, he told me these were out dated, and impossible to find, if I did find one the price would be crazy! I took that as a challenge and the search began. Prices were really crazy without all the amenities I was looking for.Indeed it took a while, but I landed here. Everything I was looking for and the price was crazy great! (for my pocket). Yes, I read it was reconditioned, and the possibility of pings and dings. The return policy was great, so I took a chance.Delivery was fast, well packaged, to my surprise, the condition looked MINT!Setup was easy, I can transfer my iPod library,  battery life not bad at all (depending on usage) without the charging cable. The only drawback is there are no more current updates for this unit.  But for my use, it's a winner.So if you're looking for the current Mac device, with the current updates and all the connections I mentioned in my opening description, then yes, as my brother stated, it's impossible to find. But for my 1st Mac I love it
