Intel Core i5 | 256GB SSD | 8GB DDR3 memory
Would keep this laptop myself, but work gave me a new one so here we are! Works great, but the touchbar flickers (see video). When flickering, I cannot use the touchbar. Flawless retina screen.
- 2x Thunderbolt ports, 1x headphone jack, bluetooth, wifi all perfect.
- I see one barely noticeable scratch on the top (see video)
- Some oil from my hands has come off on the keys. The worst part is the space bar which you can clearly see in the pictures above. I've had some success with rubbing alcohol, but maybe you'll have better luck. No performance issues.
- Charging brick is scratched, but works fine. (See video)
- The biggest issue is the touchbar. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it flickers on and off, sometimes the entire bar flashes white. After wiping the SSD and reinstalling the OS, the genius bar told me it must be a hardware issue. Apple would. have to replace a bunch of parts to fix it because they're not sure why its happening. It passed all their diagnostics.The flickering is purely cosmetic and doesn't affect performance. Maybe my apartment is haunted? Maybe someone from the upside down is using the touchbar to attempt communication? Either way, this auction doesn't include any supernatural phenomena.
- Includes pristine original box, manual, stickers.
