Rating: 4/5 Used Mac Book Air Key falling off May 12, 2020 The laptop arrived promptly and has been in use every day day since. It has met our needs as a second computer as we are all working or learning from home.

The only fault, out of the box the "R" key fell of the laptop. I've talked with OWC customer service and as long as we have it sent back for repair within 90 days we will be okay. So we will need to send it back several days prior to the end of the school year to fall in the warranty window. In the meantime we are just placing it back on when it falls of.

Rating: 5/5 MacBook Air refurbished - quality and support January 5, 2018 Several websites are offering refurbished 13-inch MacBook Air laptops at good prices, but I decided to order one from OWC MacSales, where I have made purchases for more than 15 years -- external hard drives, memory upgrades, and a replacement internal drive for a MacBook Pro, which I installed with the help of OWC's superb video tutorials. All of my business was handled perfectly. So after I received the MacBook Air, in "very good condition" as described, I had a problem with the cursor behaving badly while working in Photoshop. This seemed like a software issue, so I searched Apple and Adobe for a solution and failed to find it. Then I contacted MacSales support and -- sure enough -- they found the fix and sent instructions. Problem solved. Computer works fine.

Other than not coming in the original box, you'd never know it wasn't new. Totally happy. My next Mac PC/Laptop will be purchased from you guys.

This was purchased as a backup computer for video and graphics production. I used it on a live music awards show back in November and It has been more than up to the task.

Rating: 5/5 Surprised and Impressed December 28, 2015 I have been wanting a MacBook Air (MBA) for years, I wanted the portability and the power these machines offer. It became clear that Apple was not going to offer a Retina display on the MBA, so I changed my expectations.

This is a 3+ year old MacBook Air that OWC listed in "Fair" condition. Most of the other used MacBook Airs had only 4GB, I chose this model for the 8GB of RAM (RAM can't be updated on a MacBook Air).

Wow, what a surprise. If this is what "Fair" looks like, I don't need "Good". This machine is in extremely good condition for a 3 year old machine.

Cons: - Key shine (understandable for any used Apple product with dark chiclet-style keys) - There are scratches on the bottom of the case. - The battery life is just over 50% of new.

Pros: - This machine has a replaceable battery (I'll be doing that sometime soon) - All other fit and finish are like new. No dents, no significant blemishes.

I had only briefly considered buying a used computer in the past, but found prices to be either too high or the condition descriptions to be too nebulous or hard to predict. When I saw the photos OWC posted as part of the description, I thought perhaps they were wrong or not indicative. So I took the leap.

I am thrilled with quality of this laptop. True, it is not the newest or fastest MacBook Air, nor is it close to the speed of machines I considered, but it is an i5 with 8GB of RAM and a solid state disk. This machine runs El Capitan OS 10.11 easily. All that I need this computer for lives in the Mac/Apple universe, so this machine will be great. Great for a trip to the coffee shop or around the World. This will be my new companion!
