I refurbish computers as a hobby to help fund college. I can show the laptop working at a public meeting place.
Only problems are that the charging cable is yellowing from sun exposure and the recent update to Big Sur will cause the laptop to not boot back up. I can either install Catalina, or the buyer can wait and not install the update. I purchased this laptop, cleaned it, paired up a functional charger, upgraded MacOS, and verified functionality. It has a very vivid and sharp display, thin design, and lots of performance. It is great for snappy web browsing, video editing, streaming, and 2D gaming.
