Apple Macbook Air 2017 with 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 (13-inch, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD Storage) (QWERTY English) Silver (Renewed)

We purchased a MacBook Air from Certified Resellers, and the product was exactly as they described it. It arrived earlier than expected and has allowed my husband to manage his business documentation better. They have been extremely helpful and I would order from this business again.

I was skeptical at first but when I got it I was relieved so I wanted to make a review when I jus got but I said let me wait a bit maybe is jus clean n looking good from the outside but was surprised how everything still works perfectly

FOR $250 this is the bargain you cannot pass up!!!!Here's the meat and potatoes of it ...The Macbook Air which i purchased has the Apple quality i have gotten to know and love over the past 20 years of being an Apple Product User as the devices became more compact over the last 15 of those 20 Years i have purchased iMacs (2006, 2009, 2 iPhones ( 4,5,6,7,10, 11Pro, 14 Pro, 16 Pro) the Macbook ( yes the white one i started buying those when they came out around 2006/2007) and the Macbook Pro ( 2008-2017) and i have had the iPod Shuffle, iPod Touch ( 2011,2012, 2013, 2014) so i know the quality that these devices posssess as i am " not new to this" i just love love love the Apple Products and alll of the diffrent computers and phones they have at first they kind of are basic but as the years go by they evolvenow onto the particular review of this product which is a 2017 13-Inch Macbook Air- it is refurbished and it was about 7 years old when i got itThe Pros are that i updated it to the MacOSx from 2021 which is i believe the last Mac OSx it can be updated to for this model and it works great - the MAcbook is a CORE i5 Model but to tell you the truth when i use a MAc Computer they are innately more faster anyways so i dont get too cuaught up in buying the fanciest most spec'd out models i usually opt for teh "mid-range" however this time my MacBook Pro from 2017 went out on me and i just needed something since i travel a lot i value portable and compact devicesPLUS I WANTED SOMETHING THAT STILL HAD THE USB 2.0/ 3.0 PORTS (non USB C) AND HAD A HEADPHONE JACK ( I THINK ITS DUMB TO HAVE A COMPUTER WITHOUT A HEADPHONE JACK) so i got this and do not regret itLET ME TELL YOU THIS IS MY FiRST MACBOOK AIR - I REMEMBER THINKING " CAN I REALLY GO FROM A MACBOOK PRO TO AN AIR- DONT THE AIR MODELS HAVE LESS LIKE SPEED AND STORAGE?" NEEDLESS TO SAY I GOT THIS AND I FELL IN LOVE- ITS LIGHTER AND THINNER - i may never go back to a MacBook Pro again who knowsNow the only con i can think of ( besides the DENTS and theres a few of them like is the fact that the computer doesnt have the latest and greatest but thats all-right with me the DECREASED BATTERY on this ( oh the other con) is not the best like i will charge it to 100% and then the comouter will shut dowjn at like 48 percent or something i will get maybe like FOUR HOURS of BATTERY LIFE on this there have been times when i have gotten six hours out of itTHE SPEEDJust to put it in persepctive than i use this computer for about five hours each day and turning itn on the time from boot up to login to being on the internet is ONE MINUTE yes exactly SIXTY SECONDS the Core i5 Processor is absolutely a beast this thing is just of the charts in terms of its amazing capability - i can watch movies and there is no lag when it comes to streaming , stream songs and just really ZOOM THROUGH EVERYTHING LIGHTNING FASTPORTABILITYTHIS PARTICULAR MACBOOK AIR IS LIGHTWEIGHT- the computer in all fairness does a slight heftiness to it however that is nothign compared to the MacBook Pro the 2017 Version i had which felt to be about 4 Pounds i dont know if it actualy was or not i know this thing feels to be ablout a pound maybe one and a half pounds anyways you can throw this beast into your backpack without it weighing you downSD CARD READERYES THIS COMPUTER ( MACBOOK AIR 2017) has a SD CARD READER which is good for a full-size SD Card- the SD Card is very handy for digital cameras - in fact i have a basic yet affordable KODAK EASYSHARE from 2011 which still works perfectly and the SD Card REader on this device makes for an excellent comapnion to that - the data in and output on here is just BLAZING FAST READ/ WRITE there's nothing like it and if the built in SD Reader doesnt work then i have several USB Card Readers which do the trickHeatthe HEAT LEVEL on this laptop is moderate with for the most part the computer doesnt overheat however during times of charging or heavy use ( running more than a applications at once) i havent felt this thing get hot and a remedy to this would be to close a couple apps and then after whcih it works fine with no further heat level issuesSOUND QUALITYthe MacBook Air 2017 COre i5 Model that i have here has interanl speakers that when i compare it to my iMac ( my 2009 which is going strong - my kids seem to like it and havent complained) then the sound quality of these internal speakers is sloightly lower- i feel like the speakers on this device are " on the bottom" whereas the iMac the speakers are on the backside closer to where the USB Ports- overall this in terms of the speakers and the quality you ghet from the speakers on this thing is 9/10DRUABILITy and overall impressionsTHE MacBook aIr is nowadays the "entry level"" Mac- really the Mac MINI is but the MacBook AIr is an entry-level laptop however it is exceeding that "entry-;level' the computer is fast, light, packable and the fact that it a 13.3 Display compared to the 11.6 Inch Models that were around during the 2014 Year then this is a wider palm rest area which makes way fro more comfortable computing especailly when typing long manuscripts, or even typing in general. The Backlit Keyboard adds that nice touch to the Apparatus and also is vbery handy at nught however it should be noted that having the Backlit Keyboard, utilizing it then you are consuming more battery so try to only use the backlit keyboard if you are in a darkened space. The Webcam on here is very nicely functional and is great for Zoom Meetings or Facetime calls with the Internal Microphone proving to be very rich and the other person can hear you very well. the charge tike for this device is between one to tow houras with the standby time being anywhere from8 Hiurs to 100 Hours just make sure before you put the computer to sleep to TURN OFF WI-FI and Bluetooth as well as closeout any applications you are not using via Activity Monitor. in addition to this as a ruke of thumb- turning down the brightness on your devices can extend battery life greatly

Came yesterday and was in perfect working condition. Like brand new without the price tag. Only had a small dent if you looked close up but I put a case on it so you can’t tell the difference

While it wasn’t touch screen, it was amazing to order and shipped quicker than expected. It came with a charger. It doesn’t overheat. I did have trouble figuring out how to use the mousepad. The brightness settings on the keyboard are amazing especially for a single mom that has late classes. I’m able to use my MacBook without disturbing my son’s sleep. It is silver, but came with a case already attached. I love free stuff so that was a bonus. Would recommend buying refurbished if you have commitment issues. I will be shopping for a home Mac computer in the very near future.

LOVE it! It came quick, the next day! Was clean. Screen was perfect, keys perfect. No loose pieces in the inside. And for the price it was a real steal! I had 0 issues logging into it with my AppleID. The sound works phenomenal! Comes in nice and clear. The color of the screen resolution is awesome. Feels like a brand new computer! The battery also lasts a long time. I have not noticed any overheating either.If I’m able to come back and add pics I will!

Works great! My only issue is the charger, sometimes it works and other times it doesn’t. The charger also gets extremely hot to the touch, I’ve burned myself on it. This is my first apple computer and I have no complaints other than I waited to long to get one lol. The graphics are great, there’s no lag, and a charge lasts a few hours.

This was just perfect, affordable Mac, lightweight, good for smaller travel type tasks. No resource issues, balanced. Had to buy an adapter for the usb3 to be usbc for .99 and it worked out just fine.
