Review: Great product, excellent condition - I’m very pleased. I was nervous of spending over £500 on a used machine, especially one four years old, but it’s almost immaculate, with just one tiny little scratch on the cover, of about 3 or 4mm. Battery health is at 98% which is great for the age. Never used Mac or MacBook before, and I’m blown away by its capabilities. The Apple Intelligence is brilliant, and the trackpad is genuinely useful - so many useful gestures/shortcuts at the swipe or pinch of the fingers. And I love the fingerprint reader access. It’s possibly slightly slower than my gaming pc, but that has 64mb of ram and a 12gb GPU. This doesn’t mean the MacBook is slow, just that there’s a pause of a few seconds for Word to open, for example - it’s not instant. However, the fact that the machine is ready instantly when you open the lid more than makes up for that. No boot up time at all. Setup was a doddle. Took an hour or so, but that was partly due to the downloading of updates. It’s a lot of money to pay for a four year old machines but I have no regrets. Very good value for money.
Review: Perfect in every way!! Definitely the one to get :) - Absolutely fantastic!! If you’re looking for a refurbished Macbook this is 110% the one to get. Works absolutely perfectly, fast, responsive keyboard and trackpad, it looks, feels and works like it’s brand new! Easy to use. The screen quality is fabulous not a single scratch, dent or anything anywhere on the laptop. It has the original charging block just not the lead (brand new lead), which is ok because it’s still long and fantastic quality!! Only reason I haven’t attached photos is because I’ve already put a case on and it’s not the best case and it was a pain to get on!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Value!
*by K***. on 22 October 2025*

It’s nearly been a month since I bought the MacBook Air, so I thought it would be good to finally review. First off, great value for money. I bought one in “Excellent Condition”, but I was still expecting the worst and was very sceptical. Luckily the laptop was in way better condition than I expected. It has a huge scratch mark at the bottom(not too fussed because it’s below). And a scratch mark at one of the corners. Other than those scratch marks I can’t see any flaws. Mine arrived with 98% battery health and an official Mac charger (was honestly expecting an off brand charger from China or something). Battery life is amazing on this thing. And it never overheats! This is my first MacBook so this really surprised me. Overall, great product. If you don’t mind too much about minor scratches, it’s worth it. Would recommend.
