Reviewer: EnchantingSquirrel-83842
Rating: 5/5 Very, very happy with my purchase January 24, 2023 This is actually my second MacBook purchase from OWC. When my younger son needed a Mac for his coding course, I gladly handed over the first one. He loved it -- and kept it. But this one is every bit just as great -- speed, clarity and versatility. I have a desktop iMac but wanted the versatility of the portable. The price was great, too, as I snagged a Black Friday special pricing. So, once again, thank you OWC for a quality product at an awesome price. Oh, as a special bonus, my son graduated, got a killer IT job thanks to that first MacBook. So he surprised me by gifting me the total purchase price of my new one. Proud Mom!

Rating: 5/5 Good deal. January 13, 2023 The computer was in very good condition. $200 for a MacBook Pro with 1TB drive and 8GB of memory was an excellent deal. I rarely use a laptop, so this will do just fine for presentations, etc., when I need one.
