  • First time Mac buyer, on the fence about purchasing brand new
Color: Silver Capacity: 8GB - 512GB Style: 8-core GPU
I was looking for a Mac to purchase for some entry-level music creation, mixing, production, etc - but also looking for something to just have for typical portable computing things I would find pretty inconvenient on a smartphone. Never owned a Mac before, so the choice fatigue was REAL. I purchased the 512GB storage, 8GB RAM model, and so far it is perfect for what I need. I have high standards for technology and performance, being in the IT field, and this laptop knocks it out of the park. The performance for what you pay for is incredible (and that's not to say this laptop is a budget system). The M1 chip more than keeps up with my audio workflows, multiple applications open, etc. MacOS is so optimized and balanced that you would never notice this device has 8GB of RAM. Initially I returned my first refurbished M1 air and got the new M3 air because I wasn't fully aware of what it was capable of. After using the M3 air for about a week, I realized it was actually TOO overpowered for what I am looking to use it for. Returned it, and got this refurbished M1 air. Bottom line, if you need something for light-to-medium creative work with amazing battery life, build quality, and something that just keeps going and going, this is a perfect choice. On to the refurbishing quality. It's perfect. The battery must've been replaced, because it has 100% health, which is awesome to see on a refurb system. The screen is perfect as well. Not even a micro scratch. Keyboard is perfect as well. All around, the system is like brand new. It was either VERY well taken care of by the previous owner, or the components were replaced to make it resellable. Either way, it's perfect in and out. Charger and cable included were aftermarket, however they are similar quality to the original charger, and work exactly the same. ... show more

  • Refurb MacBook Air - has worked perfectly.
Color: Space Gray Capacity: 256GB Style: Space Gray
Despite missing its factory charger, the 8GB RAM refurb M1 MacBook Air had little or no visible wear, with a battery that reported 100% life. Based on the complete lack of keycap shine, I suspect this machine was a corporate purchase that was never actually provisioned for customer use. As refurb / pre-owned products go, this was among the best experiences I’ve had. As for the laptop, it’s a low-spec (8GB) M1 MacBook Air, which means it’s reasonably fast for general productivity use, which is precisely what it was purchased for. Overall, a perfectly good MacBook, at a steep discount, with little to no wear, made for an excellent purchase. ... show more

  • Great for the price!
Color: Space Gray Capacity: 8GB - 512GB Style: 7-core GPU
This was my first product I bought from Amazon's refurbished section. Chose the excellent option, and I am happy with my purchase. It only included the MacBook and its charger. The MacBook itself was in pretty good shape. There were some scratches on the chassis, but nothing to prominent. Battery health was at 90% maximum capacity with 78 charge cycle counts. Overall I am very happy with the quality, and now I am a lot more confident in buying refurbished products from amazon. ... show more

  • Very Happy with Purchase
Color: Space Gray Capacity: 16GB - 1TB Style: 8-core GPU
I was not sure what to expect because I haven’t ordered a renewed PC or Mac in the past. I was very pleasantly surprised that this unit was in excellent condition- no scratches, dings or blemishes and works great. Highly recommend this company.

  • Practically new! Amazing value
Color: Space Gray Capacity: 256GB Style: Space Gray
I have only spent a day with the computer, but it's been a great one. I wanted to replace my 2017 i5 Intel Macbook Air due to age and lots of useage. Did my research, found the M1 and M2 base models were similar in performance/specs so decided on the M1 due to price, especially with an M1 refurb. So, it came with the macbook box looking brand new. Everything in the original box placed correctly (I don't even think the charger was ever unwrapped). But the truth lay with the battery cycle count, and it only had 20 cycles! That's about only 15 extra cycles compared to a new computer that costs $300 more. Very satisfied with the condition of the refurb. I got this particular computer from iPower Resale Inc. Great job! As for the computer itself, well, all the hype of the M1 SoC is warranted. Going from the 2017 i5 Intel to the M1 is like going from a 20 year old sedan to a brand new luxury sports car. Chrome no longer makes my computer a furnace with 5 tabs open, Microsoft Office doesn't take 90 seconds to verify and open, and my battery is refusing to drain. Apple has killed it on making their own hardware. This is what separates them from Windows based laptops (note, I love building and gaming on Windows desktops). Other fun improvements are a pretty impressive sound system for a little computer, I actually get bass from the speakers. Playing Youtube videos is seamless, no lag and great resolution. The ID touch is spot on, no delays in using it. My only complaints are the lack of MagSafe charge port, and only 2 USB-C ports that are on the same side. The industry as a whole seems to be trending into reducing external ports, but I would like at least 3. Or at least one on both sides. The charger is also the weak 30 W version, which I suggest replacing. These are minor issues though. In summary, if you are looking for a light, thin, fast, long lasting battery laptop, look no further. And get it refurbed! ... show more
