Apple Macbook Air 2017 with 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 (13-inch, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD Storage) (QWERTY English) Silver (Renewed)

Very good product!
I had a problem with it with it at first. It was locked and owned by a school but I bypassed that and updated it to the newest version! macOS Seqauia! ITS not laggy the fan does come on once in a while no BIGGY . It’s actually really great. ALL THE KEYS WORK, volume is great, Camera works, and has some scratch’s on the exterior but that’s normal. Literally amazed for a cheap price just until I save enough to get the one i actually want! 😊.

A mess
I ordered one and the entire two bottom rows of keys stuck, would click like there was sand under the keyboard, or wouldn’t pop back up so my sentence looked like this“Mmmmmmmmy nnnnew laptop Is unnnnnnnnusabbble”So I reached out to Amazon support who processed a replacement. Unfortunately the replacement was also unusable because the charging port would not hold the charger in it. So unless I wanted to sit there and hold the charger for 2 hours to charge it I had to return that one too. So I reached out to support again and processed that return.I ordered a third one hoping the third time would be the charm but alas, it was not. This one has a battery life of about 18 minutes from full charge until it’s dead. I understand these are refurbished but I have some major concerns about quality control at this point as it doesn’t seem like random bad luck that I’d get 3 laptops with major problems.Also adding that these are listed in excellent condition however there are also significant cosmetic issues as well. Scratches, deep dents, bent corners. Not something I’d look at and say “yeah this is in excellent condition”. I hope the seller takes more care in refurbishing these in the future because it feels like they are just out here taking in a computer, restoring it to factory settings and listing it for sale. No way they could do even a cursory check of these and not notice 20 sticky keys or the inability to charge a computer.This process has taken me about 3 weeks from placing my first order and has been a headache all around. I wouldn’t recommend these unless you are fully aware that you’ll need to dedicate time and money to making the computer you receive able to be used.

Officially supports Monterey (macOS 12) but can run Sequoia (macOS 15) with some work
This is a heck of a deal.This 2017 era system officially only supports (up to) Monterey (macOS 12) but with some major “tricks” I was able to upgrade all the way to the very latest (as of February 15, 2025) Sequoia macOS 15.3.1.The non-upgradable 8 GB RAM is actually enough and the CPU is good enough for a lot of things.However, with only a “128 GB” (actually 121 GB) non-upgradable SSD there is not normally enough space to upgrade.Trying hard enough I managed to upgrade this but it’s probably not worth it for most people.WARNING!Major geek stuff comes next!The trick is to use the command line and Time Machine Utils (tmutils) to delete “snapshots” and free enough space for Sequoia to be installed. Summary (1) run tmutils listlocalsnapshots from Terminal with output redirected to a text file, (2) edit that file to have sudo tmutils deletelocalsnapshots on each line and save the file, (3) use the source command to run the commands in the file.This purges space that’s not otherwise available and frees enough “disk” to do the upgrade.I then used Open Core Legacy Patcher 2.2.0 (OCLP) (free but contributions appreciated) to add the drivers for video and – critically Wi-Fi networking.My system offered the upgrade directly from Apple but I think that’s because of an earlier attempt to use OLCP that was thwarted by lack of disk space enabled the upgrade once there was enough disk space.Sequoia was running after the upgrade but without working Wi-Fi and hence no network connection. I was able to find a USB ethernet adapter and get the system onto the network. Then I was able to download OCLP and run it to patch the operating system to work better.After a reboot, the video and Wi-Fi were working. I was able to add remote control both with TeamViewer Corporate and the free Chrome Remote Desktop (CRD).The attached photo is a screenshot from my main Windows 11 Pro system using CRD to access the MacBook Air and showing the “About This Mac” dialog.

I bought excellent condition
There’s literally one scratch on it. It works amazing. All I needed to was update the Mac book. The sound works, the charger and charger port works just fine. The battery last a decent amount of time. I’m so happy I could get a Mac book at an affordable price,, I’ve been looking to buy one forever.

Llegò en excelentes condiciones . Recomendable todo! Y llegò antes de tiempo

Y al parecer todo súper bien como nueva la batería también le dura como 3 días. Digo pues depende la guerra que le des pero si me gustó y la recomiendo.
