4/5Purchased the MacBook to replace an identical one I had that the mother board had gone, so cheaper to buy than repair. Purchased the 'Excellent' level model, so would expect good quality case and battery life. First impression was not great as case has little chipped out/dented metal parts all around its circumference, especially the back edge. When received and switched on the battery was at 30%, already a little concerned as that made me think that the battery was not holding its charge. Also the battery drains very quickly compared to what I was use to with my identical (now broken) MacBook. I would not have cared so much about the above, but I did pay the extra for the version that was classed as excellent and at best I would rate it as good. Wish I paid less for that option now, a risk that did not pay off. Will live with it, but a little disappointed tbh.

4.2/5This product came in good condition but one of the major issues I had with it was that it came with a password and I had to watch a YouTube video in order to by past this. It was unnecessary stress.

1.4/5Device arrived completely dead with no charger. They then sent just the plug and then sent just the cable. I need to test if everything is ok with the laptop but so far it’s been a nightmare experience
