    Awesome product for a good price

    Awesome product for a good price
    Okay first off let me start by saying .... I AM AN AMAZON EMPLOYEE and used my employee discount on this product & my chase ultimate rewards points (if you are a chase sapphire credit card holder these points can be used) so I literally paid $500 for this MacBook which is a steal and I couldn’t pass this offer up. Secondly, like some other people have stated ... if you did not purchase your macbook from AMAZON DIRECTLY as the seller like I & some other people have done, then yes you may have gotten A used or refurbished MacBook, but if you bought the computer DIRECTLY from AMAZON then it should be brand new, in the wrapper as if you bought this product from Apple directly. This MacBook is also a 2017 model so I would suggest before buying that you guys READ THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE YOU SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY on a laptop that needs to be sent back. My laptop is under an original 1 year Apple limited warranty as all original Apple products are. I have the 90 day phone tech support warranty as well. I checked all of these on the Apple website. I also do have several Apple products ...... actually almost every Apple product there is and I’m only 28 which is kind of sad lol so I will say this .... GET THE APPLE CARE + on your products. Yes this is expensive, but if you’ve just invested several hundreds of dollars on something get it warrantied because a MacBook can last you decades from now.-Now this is my personal opinion... if you guys don’t have the money to spend $500+ on a laptop because APPLE’S prices are way over rated , Then get a more reasonably priced product that fits your budget because even though I think it’s a great product & could use a few adjustments .....the price tag just isn’t here for everyone and I’m tired of people giving bad reviews on price when you can either return the product OR JUST DON’T buy it.-Also this MacBook comes with 128gb of storage so if you do a lot of video editing , photography editing etc then this laptop is not for you. You may want to look into getting a MacBook Pro with about 256gb is storage or more. If you do light video editing , browsing , school work etc then this laptop will work great for you. You guys will also have to download Catalina which is the latest software with MacOSIn conclusion buyers please don’t be scared off by the negative reviews because most of these people didn’t buy their laptops from AMAZON directly as the seller and more then likely went through a third party. From what I’m looking at also the people who brought their laptops from amazon directly got their laptop directly from Apple .....it just was not sold or shipped by them...... it was sold and shipped by amazon . Any who best of luck to you guys on your purchase ... I’m not getting paid for this review or anything like that. I did get a discount, but other than that I spent my hard earned $500 just like anyone else who shops on amazon. I hope this review helps

    -Now this is my personal opinion... if you guys don’t have the money to spend $500+ on a laptop because APPLE’S prices are way over rated , Then get a more reasonably priced product that fits your budget because even though I think it’s a great product & could use a few adjustments .....the price tag just isn’t here for everyone and I’m tired of people giving bad reviews on price when you can either return the product OR JUST DON’T buy it.
