Useful, as expected, very little cosmetic damage
5 of 5 found this helpful This lightweight little computer is updated to High Sierra which, for someone who hasn't used a Mac computer since 2012 has a bit of a learning curve. I'm a college student and I can't exactly carry my gaming desktop to and from class. I wanted an inexpensive computer, older but good quality. My grandparents have a windows laptop from the same year, even after being restored to factory settings it's no where near as fast as this computer, even though it has the same amount of RAM. I picked this computer specifically because of the 4 GBs of RAM. I use an external hard drive so I can not only transfer files between both computers and so I have enough space for every file and all the software I could need, which solves the lack of storage space issue. There are a few cracks in the computer, but they're easily covered by a hard case or a skin. All in all it works as expected and certainly as advertised.
My only actual complaint is shipping time when compared to price. I paid over $15 to ship this computer to California from Rochester, NY. It came the day it said it would, but took three-four days longer then an item I purchased an hour before (which also came from the east coast) which had free shipping. I placed the order on a Tuesday, it didn't ship until the following Monday. Be prepared for that if you decide on this particular item. It's a good thing I ordered between semesters, otherwise I'd be out of luck.
