Did not work at all / completely non functional on very first turn on attempt
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. It did not work at all. Could not even get as far as the initial set up screen. It just gets stuck on a loop never booting up. Returned it. Not happy to pay nearly £500 for something that is completely non functional.

it's ok
great machine but1) it can take ages to run sometimes, when first opened.2) the colour on the keyboard and the metal grey are already fading, after less than 2 months of usage.3) the screen is quite small, that wouldn't' be much of an issue, but it isn't very bright either.4) the battery lasts less than 7 hours, even when not used constantly I completely appreciate that it is an old refurbished laptop, but in the same time I don't expect those type of problems (point 1 and 2) after less than 2 months use.The customer service is prompt and very polite, but they keep not finding my order, even after sending the reference number, so I am unsure whether they are actually efficient as well.Overall it runs, and it's a good machine.

The DJ's choice when running music software.
For years I've struggled using a PC to run my DJ software. The unpredictability and problems I had using a Microsoft machine drove me nuts, so I decided to invest in this Macbook.I've used it twice so far in a club environment and it hasn't let me down. I can now play my music safe in the knowledge that I'll have no drops in sound or any other technical difficulties.Why oh why I left it so long to switch from PC to Mac I'll never know.

Great value for money if you need/want a Mac
I wanted a Mac, not because I wanted one but because apple make it so you can only sign apps for Apple on an Apple. So I really didn’t want to fork out for a new one nor pay the outrageous Apple prices for something I don’t plan on using and grinding on every dayConsidering it was made in 2011. I am vert pleased with it. It has enough grunt to run unity and visual studio. While in today’s world a hard disk is an ssd this is still mechanical but the performance is certainly not bad.So far it has more than I need and is better than I expected so for all those parents who don’t want to spend 2k on a laptop for your kid. This is a great opportunity to meet them more than half way
