I needed a laptop quickly for working from home and this one arrived looking a bit worn but nothing that bothered me. The aluminium case has some scratches and a few small dents, but it works fine and boots up quickly. Battery life is decent enough for my needs and it handles my apps without any problems.

I was a bit surprised when it arrived because it looked almost brand new, with no marks or scratches on the aluminium case at all. It came well packed and powered on without any issues, so I could start using it straight away.
It's been great for everyday tasks and the battery seems to hold charge as well as I could hope for. The keyboard and screen are clean and bright, which was unexpected at this price. Delivery was on time, and I'm very happy with how quick everything worked out.

The price was a big draw compared to buying a brand new MacBook Air. It arrived looking almost untouched and runs smoothly for daily tasks. Definitely a bargain for the state it came in.

I needed a laptop mainly for uni lectures and essays and this fitted the bill perfectly. It had a few small scratches on the aluminium but nothing that bothered me. The screen does look a bit dull in bright daylight, which is annoying when I'm outside, but it's fine indoors. Battery life is as expected and delivery was smooth.

I switched to this MacBook Air after my previous laptop finally gave up. It looks almost untouched with no scratches and boots up quickly every time. Battery life is good for my day-to-day work, and it arrived well packed the day after I ordered. Really pleased with how smooth everything runs now, definitely a 5 star from me.

The laptop arrived on time and was exactly as described. It is clean with only very minor signs of use on the aluminium surface. Battery life feels good and it is running my usual apps without any lag. Packaging was secure and straightforward. Happy with the purchase.

The price was a lot better than buying new, which was why I went for it. The MacBook works well and the battery life is solid, but the colour is a bit different from the photos. Still pleased as it is reliable and does what I need.

A solid MacBook Air that runs smoothly and looks mostly like the pictures. The aluminium casing is clean with no marks, and the keyboard feels great. I'm happy with the speed and storage for my day to day tasks. The only downside is the colour is a bit different from what was shown in the photos, slightly darker than expected. It doesn't bother me much but might for some.
Delivery was on time and packaging was secure. Battery life is good enough for my needs. A good buy for the price but just be aware the shade isn't an exact match.

The MacBook arrived quickly and was well wrapped. It looks almost new with hardly a mark on the aluminium body. The screen is a bit dim when I use it outside but otherwise it's great.

This was for my partner who needed a laptop for studying. It arrived looking just like the pictures, the aluminium case was clean and the screen had no marks. Performance has been great for video calls and writing essays.
Setting it up took a bit longer than expected, which was a bit annoying after waiting for delivery. Apart from that, the battery seems fine and the laptop runs without any issues. Packaging was fine but nothing special. Still happy with the purchase.
