This Amazon restored, not refurb, but restored Dell Latitude with full new install of Win 11 Pro, for $139 and it has touch screen with full flip cover, was my dream come true.

It looks brand new and runs like a dream… 3 days old, but it’s so silent and clean in it’s speed and performance, that i just can’t get over the price i paid.
It was even packaged like it was brand new.

it seems almost like in refurbishing it, however that was done, they also damaged it more.

FYI there is only 2 type c ports and 1 headphone jack on this laptop

Previously, I was using a Dell Latitude E7440 from 2013, which was really showing its age—still running Windows 10 with poor audio quality, outdated graphics, and overall performance issues. Upgrading to this MacBook Air has been a huge step up in every way.

The M1 chip may not be the newest anymore, but it runs beautifully for my needs. The only feature I wish this generation had is a touchscreen, but honestly, that’s a small tradeoff considering how much of an upgrade this has been.

My only real complaint is that the screen tends to pick up everything—lint, dust, fingerprints, and smudges—but aside from that, I’ve been extremely happy with it. The build quality, performance, and overall premium Apple experience make this laptop well worth it.

Key Points for Buyers:
– Space Gray color was correct
– Portability is on point with the 13-inch display size
– Doesn’t heat up like my older laptop, and doesn’t have loud, noisy fans
– 16GB RAM & 1TB SSD Storage
– All the right USB ports!

Upon opening i was greeted with the installation screen of Monterey version of MacOS (the best option for this model)
After configuring the Macbook for my wife i checked the battery and was at 92% health (that’s excellent)

I myself have the Macbook Air M3 and i was really surprised with the audio quality if the Macbook Air M1 !!! It sounds way better !!!

I will buy renewed products in the future again from Amazon !

It has minor scratches on the cover of the computer and it’s working like new. The previous owner barely used it or the seller changed the battery on it. The keyboard isn’t worn out and it doesn’t have performance defect as of now.

I recommend it as a gift if you get the kind that I received.

This thing is really fast and I love the convenience of the Apple ecosystem. It’s so nice to answer calls, and read/write text messages all from my MacBook, not to mention how light the MacBook is. 128gb Storage is a little on the lower end of things, however I use an Samsung 1tb External SSD and that solves that problem. Be assured for regular use 8gb of system memory is more than enough to serve your needs. I bought Acceptable condition as a baseline knowing that I would at least receive a decent MacBook, but that there is a possibility of getting lucky and receiving a much better condition one. If you’re on the fence about purchasing a refurbished MacBook just take the plunge and buy it. Lastly be sure to research and review your seller prior to purchasing. Thanks for your time in reading my review.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to save a buck on a great device but wants some sorta warranty from one of the big chains. I was satisfied

It arrived in great condition! It is incredibly fast due to the M1 chip, looks so beautiful and battery life is 88%! It can last an entire day, 14 hours at work. Does not overheat. The screen looks amazing. It’s far, far more than expected and it’s helping the environment too! I’m much less stressed about using this computer which fits in my budget (about $350) than I would be buying a more expensive version. Makes me hesitate to buy new when there are refurbished gems like this one! Thank you, Mobilesupply!

As long as you are good with managing storage, I find the 128gb to be enough! Please make sure to check how much storage you are currently using prior to purchasing. Also, I received a non-OEM charger that didn’t work so be aware of this as a possibility. The company gave me a small courtesy credit to buy a new one. Of course I wish it came with original Apple charger but still five stars!

I have been out of the country and needed a labtop so I wasn’t able to return this in time.

Other than those two things, this is a good computer.

You’re not getting the greatest screen with an 8 year old computer but the screen actually looks really good. The i5 Processor and 8 GB of RAM are not powerhouses these days but if you have a $200 budget and have to choose between this and one of those new budget laptops with a Celeron or N95/100/etc. this will do much better! Just remember, this is an 8 year old device as far as the tech. It does great. But if you’re expecting an experience similar to the new M-series processors, you won’t get it. I would suggest looking into a refurbished Air with an M1 if you want that experience. That said, it packs a lot more punch than I thought it would and I am currently using it as my out of the house daily driver.

It does get a little warm under load but not hot. If you’re just web browsing, YouTubing, doing school or office work, maybe some very basic photo or video editing, this machine will do just fine.

For people with a little less tech experience, I would suggest making sure you save files to the cloud or a USB drive (also has an SD card slot if you want to go that route.)

This does NOT have USB-C and Thunderbolt 2 does not natively connect to current Thunderbolt/USB-C. There are adapters for that on Amazon if you need it for any reason. With the right cable that port can also be used to connect to an external monitor if you need it.

OH. And! Keyboard and Apple Logo are both backlit. I believe this was the last MacBook Air with a backlit Apple Logo. If nothing else that increases its “cool factor.”

Bigger bezels than new devices, but honestly, they don’t bother me and I think most people won’t find them excessive.

I would say this laptop is for:
Students
Children who you want to give a first computer to where you don’t need them to have the latest and the greatest.
People who have been using Windows and want to try a Mac but don’t want to commit big money to the ecosystem yet
People who have a Chromebook budget but don’t want a crappy underpowered machine that is effectively a web browser with mobile apps and don’t know how to use the Linux environment
People who are interested in the Hackintosh community but would rather have the real thing.
People looking at those sub-$300 computers with EMMC memory and 4 GB of RAM and underpowered processors

Hope that this helps people who are thinking about this computer but are on the fence. It’s truly a great machine. And while Apple has dropped support for Intel, security updates should continue to roll out for a few years in case safety is a concern.

I ordered a third one hoping the third time would be the charm but alas, it was not. This one has a battery life of about 18 minutes from full charge until it’s dead. I understand these are refurbished but I have some major concerns about quality control at this point as it doesn’t seem like random bad luck that I’d get 3 laptops with major problems.
Also adding that these are listed in excellent condition however there are also significant cosmetic issues as well. Scratches, deep dents, bent corners. Not something I’d look at and say “yeah this is in excellent condition”. I hope the seller takes more care in refurbishing these in the future because it feels like they are just out here taking in a computer, restoring it to factory settings and listing it for sale. No way they could do even a cursory check of these and not notice 20 sticky keys or the inability to charge a computer.
This process has taken me about 3 weeks from placing my first order and has been a headache all around. I wouldn’t recommend these unless you are fully aware that you’ll need to dedicate time and money to making the computer you receive able to be used.

After examining the physical appearance we made sure we’re getting the right specifications, too. To see basic information about the Mac, choose Apple menu > About This Mac. In this case, this info was just as described.

The battery is in great condition too and it last for so many hours, I don’t know exactly how many because I never let the battery to run out of power.
Also We tested all ports:
* Two USB ports
* 1 Thunderbolt port
* 1 MagSafe power port
* 1 SDXC card slot
All five ports are working perfectly., as well as the 3.5 mm headphone jack.

The Stereo speaker and the microphones are working fine too. The Full-size backlit keyboard is fantastic The backlit is sooo bright, but we know to pessF5 to lower keyboard brightness and F6 to raise it. That’s so simple.

The MacBook came with “Catalina version 10.15.6” and it was asking to update to “ Monterrey’ , which at first we were very hesitant to do because the laptop ran so smoothly just as it came and didn’t want to ruin it. We consulted by phone the local computer shop and they said It’s best for your computer to be on the latest software update. It fixes bugs, gives some new features, but most importantly, they have tons of security fixes. So we did it and now the laptop is running just as fine as it came, just with better features.

All in all we are very happy with this purchase!!! Thanks Amazon for offering these amazing renewed laptops and many, many thanks to the vendor!!!

From day one, I noticed the screen bleeding light from the bottom corner, which should’ve been a red flag. I trusted Amazon’s “renewed” label, assuming it had been properly inspected and repaired. Big mistake. Within days, the laptop started overheating like a toaster whenever I watched a movie. The fan noise was so loud it drowned out the speakers, imagine trying to enjoy a film over a constant irritating sound…

Im just 4 months, it completely gave up. While watching a movie, the laptop heated up, the fan roared, and then the screen literally cracked by itself. No drops, it just broke under its own heat. Now I’m stuck with a useless machine. The screen replacement alone costs $200+, not including labor. Why throw more money at something that might overheat and die again?

I even tried using a portable monitor just to salvage some use out of it, but the setup is clunky and miserable. The laptop continues to run hot, making it risky to fix or even use for basic work.

This “renewed” MacBook was a total rip-off. The quality control clearly failed. I’ve been a loyal Amazon customer for years, but this experience has shaken my trust completely. If you’re tempted by the lower price, don’t be. Spend a bit more and buy something reliable. Saving a few hundred dollars isn’t worth the stress, noise, heat, and disappointment.

The Macbook itself is in basically perfect condition, the only flaws I have found is a scuffed up S key and all keys are a bit worn out on the surface but function normally. Other than those two things, there are no scratches or imperfections to the laptop’s exterior.

The only cons I have found so far is that I occasionally hit the touch bar when typing and accidentally turn my music up too loud or mute it. Also, at first the battery life was a bit underwhelming but after some tweaking I think I have fixed it (Turning low power mdoe to be on all the time). Today I charged the Macbook to 100% and have been doing light browsing on Chrome and have lost 7%. To be fair, some more battery life could be saved if I used Safari as it is more optimized for Mac’s and isn’t as big of a resource hog as Chrome is.

Edit*: Forgot to add this in my original review but the macbook didn’t come in its original box, it was only wrapped in bubble wrap. Luckily, it did not come damaged.

Overall, this was a great purchase for me and I have zero regrets.

My received unit was most likely a floor model based on its battery time and cord condition, which is perfect, and it feels like brand new. Delivery was spot on time. Can’t say enough about how well it works and fulfills all needs and purposes at such a higher level than my previous laptop, a 2017 Air 13″. Highly recommend if you can get it at such a reasonable price point. This review will be valid until probably early 2022, at which time, or shortly thereafter, the new M1s will blow this one out of the water… and I’ll have to upgrade again… {sigh}.

First Issue: most electronic repair shops don’t fix Apple products, so you need to go to a specialized iRepair store to get it fixed. I live in a fairly isolated city without such a store, and the nearest one is about a 2-hour drive from me. Already a pain. Once I bring it in, they tell me the short impacted the motherboard, which has apparently been welded into the laptop and can only be removed and replaced by an even more specialized person, so they have to ship it to a different location, which adds an extra 2-4 weeks to the process. Once this new location got it, though, they realized the motherboard was actually damaged beyond repair, and all they could do was recover my data. Easy, right? No. Thanks to the hard drive ALSO being welded into the motherboard, it’s yet another specialized repair to recover any data, which ends up costing me an additional $600 and still leaves me with no laptop. The alternative is to retroactively buy increased iCloud storage, which isn’t helpful advice at this point, and would STILL require that I buy another Apple product for recovery. So they’re going to make money off of me for this break.

To recap, my data essentially got held hostage thanks to Apple designing this laptop to be as difficult to repair as possible to ensure nobody else can do it. How is any of this benefiting the consumer at all? I don’t really care about the scratch resistance or screen quality (the screen for the laptop I received had multiple points of damage that led to discoloration in the display, in case you’re curious) if it stops working quickly and Apple’s gonna charge me an arm and a leg to keep using it!

Personally, I think this experience was kind of my last straw with Apple products in general. This product is certainly cheap for an Apple laptop, but thanks to a design focused on making repairs as difficult as possible in order to require you to use Apple’s repair services, you will pay more in the long run, be it with time or with money. You can get a brand-new laptop of the same quality – often with better RAM and compatible with more software – for the same price from basically any other company. Honestly, just buy something else, cuz after this laptop breaks on you, you’re gonna have to anyway.

The 13-inch display is crisp and vibrant, and the gold color gives it a sleek, premium look. Battery life has been decent so far, and the keyboard feels comfortable to type on.

A few things to note:
• It’s not the fastest MacBook out there, especially compared to M1/M2 models, so I wouldn’t recommend it for heavy video editing or gaming.
• The fan does spin up during multitasking, but nothing extreme.

Overall, this is a great budget-friendly option if you want to enjoy the Mac experience without paying full price. Solid choice for students, writers, or casual users.

The sleek design and lightweight build make it incredibly portable, perfect for on-the-go use. The Retina display is simply stunning, providing vibrant colors and sharp text that make everything from browsing to photo editing a pleasure.

Performance-wise, the 1.6GHz Intel Core processor handles multitasking with ease. Whether I’m juggling multiple applications or streaming videos, everything runs smoothly without a hitch. The battery life is also impressive, lasting through long workdays without needing a recharge.

I appreciate the seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem, making it easy to sync with my iPhone and iPad. The trackpad is incredibly responsive, and typing on the keyboard feels comfortable and satisfying.

Overall, my experience with the MacBook Air has been nothing short of excellent. It combines style, performance, and usability in a way that makes it a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a reliable and beautiful laptop. Highly recommend!

As for software, I hit one or two snags but one of them appears to be fixed while the other isn’t the fault of the computer itself the fault of the place I work blocking simple tasks like logging into email. Not computers fault.

I used this fairly extensively all day, zip zapping around like usual and did not really encounter any interferences or hiccups. Messages works; FaceTime works, music works, iCloud photos are synced, a few things mirror from the phone if wanted, so the device to device communication works… it came with a new looking charger, which worked immediately.

I would not say it holds battery as well as my older 2015. I think the retina display chews up a lot of power. I also was on FaceTime for about an hour. Heavy battery usage. I can generally get through half my work day on a charge before I need to get it plugged in. I’m a teacher and I have this open almost the entire day.

RIP USB ports 🙁 I used those pretty extensively as well. I miss those. Only think I like about the USB C is that its the same as chromebook ports so there’s always chargers around that work. My old had a MAC only port.

Otherwise this was a really good purchase. I know by tonight it will take a dump bc jinxes.

Overall pretty happy so far. 🙂

Update: It did not take a dump. I have been using it for about a month and a half. Day in and day out. In school, out of school, tutoring, face Time, email, Google classroom, etc. I charge it each day. At the exact moment I am typing this, the charger stopped working lol Can’t make it up. The charger looked sus from the beginning. It worked though so I couldn’t complain. But the little silver piece that actually going into the charging port was always a little loose looking, almost slightly crooked. I always figured id get another one. But since that USB C is so common chargers are nothing. Overall still REALLY happy with this purchase.

Update 3 months later: Still going strong. Still doesn’t hold a charge as long as my other one but it isnt terrible. I just did a shtld of work on Canva for about 40 min and I have a ton of battery left. Usage is fine, no issues with anything major. I suddenly couldn’t get into my apple ID when I had to change a password, it just short ciruited everything and i couldnt load messages app, the sign on would just circle around and around. I was able to force quit and shut down entirely. Then restart and use my phones hotspot and it worked. Who knows. But that was probably the only real issue lately. Very Very happy with this purchase I can’t even imagine why anyone buys a computer at $1600 dollars when we have access to such good refurbs or older models.

This was a great guy. It works as should. It’s my first MacBook. I will say the battery doesn’t last long if I just close the laptop without turning it off, but it lasts a good 6 or so hours while I’m working on it depending on what I’m doing

I would recommend as everything works as it should.

I purchased the 2019 13-inch MacBook in Excellent condition and it truly lived up to the description—no dents, scratches, or visible wear at all. It looked brand new right out of the box, which I was very happy about.

Just a couple of things to know during setup:

– When setting up the MacBook for the first time, don’t log into iCloud right away. Choose “Sign in Later,” because if you sign in too early, you won’t be able to bypass the Terms & Conditions screen.
– Once you reach the Home Screen, you’ll need to run a system update. If you don’t, you may get a message that says “ Update Apple ID Settings.” The update fixed the notification for me.

The only downside was that the charger stopped working after about four days, so I had to purchase a replacement. Other than that, the laptop itself is perfect and performs great.

Overall, I’m satisfied with the purchase and the condition of the MacBook was exactly what I hoped for.

The return process was easy at least, but I will not be buying refurbished electronics on Amazon again.

I’m leaving my original review below for posterity.***

I bought this computer advertised in “like new” condition for around $75. I wasn’t expecting miracles, but there are a couple things I have an issue with enough to give a 3 star review. They’re not a big enough deal to request a refund (again, $75 computer here…I feel like going through the process of requesting a return/replacement is more of hassle), but not great. If this had been advertised for its actual condition, I still might have bought it, but I’d be giving it a much better rating.

Biggest one is that in my “like new” computer, the track pad is wonky. It sometimes catches clicked down in a way I can feel if I click too far to the bottom left, and I have yet to be able to successfully highlight anything because the drag is weird. Neither of these are a huge deal for the way I plan to use this computer (especially because the touch screen does work fine so worst case I just highlight by touch), but it’s less than I expected based on the listing.

The other is that my computer arrived dirty, which I wasn’t surprised by as other reviewers have mentioned it, but it was kind of disappointing. I don’t think it was anything particularly gross, but there was a goopy smear on one of the device’s silver-colored hinges that was rather off-putting, along with a spray of dried droplets on the screen. Probably just grease or oil and the residue of cleaner, but let’s just say I cleaned the whole thing thoroughly before I used it.

Overall, though, I just needed a really cheap computer to get me through a couple weeks, and this fits the bill. It runs fine other than the trackpad issue, comes with a decent charger, set up easily, all that good stuff. Just, you know, be aware that you’re definitely getting what you’re paying for!

Pros: Value, 2-in-1, compact.
Cons: No cap button and defects vary.

As i stated I bought two as shown in the pics; the first one I bought seemed to be brand new never touch; no problems, so i decided to get a second to appease my child as he was immediately drawn to it and i figured it would be a great tool for his schooling. some of the best features from Google is the supervision so i can monitor what my child is doing limiting how much time he is using it for and so on. Sorry if this is a run on. the only fustrating thing is the No Cap button as u are forced to shift + what ever letter ur trying to capitalize in replace is the quick button to google search which i find annoying retraining the muscle memory of my fingers.

Another thing is that some time it will not power on and you have to google why and find out why there is a refresh button. They also provided two different charge cord DO NOT SWAP! Other wise it will crash; any way hope this help in deciding if it is worth the buy. iMO it is as I wanted something not expensive does the basics and is both a lap/ tablet.

**** UPDATE ****

in order to stop with the google search button you can change the keyboard layout or its control functions in Setting > Devices > Keyboard> Custom KeyBoard Keys… It took me almost 1month to figure it out. Hope this help some one.
