This computer is Certified Refurbished to work and look like a brand-new laptop. The only sign that it isn’t fresh off the shelf are the generic box and the original manufacturing year of 2015. The 128GB SSD is a convenient way to store a modest library of apps and files, and the 11.6-inch LED-backlit “glossy” display is still a vibrant, crystal-clear platform to work, browse, or stream.
You might get the most mileage out of this computer if you use it for everyday office tasks like sending emails, running Microsoft Office, and using other basic productivity software. It has 4GB RAM, which may not be sufficient to run graphically demanding apps like Adobe Photoshop.
When you unbox your new-to-you MacBook, you’ll see it didn’t come alone. Your purchase also comes with a black snap-on case to help you maintain the excellent condition of your computer. A charger and cable are also included, and the battery may last up to nine hours per charge.
