The computer is in decent shape with a relatively new batter installed. However, since the new battery was installed, the computer has been slower than ever. It is still able to perform tasks, but it's frustratingly slow, and sometimes the battery will jump from 90% to 100% when charging, and other times, it jumps from 40% to 20% when in use. This hasnt happened in a little while since I've given the battery a few cycles (only 10). I had the SSD swapped with another genuine apple SSD, and the performance didn't change.
I originally bought this to use for iMovie and GarageBand, but it's too slow for me to use those programs, so I am parting ways with the machine. I will remove my iCloud from the machine before shipping.
The screen has almost no sign of delamination when not in direct light. There is a faint shadow of the keyboard, but it's unnoticeable when turned on. It's one of the best screens I've seen condition wise for these.

Please read the description before buying and ask questions about the item. I will answer what I can, but I am not a computer tech. I didn't perform the battery replacement or the SSD swap, a shop did. I have tried to explain every situation with this machine. If you repair computers this might be a good one for you, otherwise be prepared for a slow experience... I'm going to say it needs another new battery thanks to its performance issues, but again, I do not know. I just used this to make content briefly. This wasn't my main machine, so it's been used super lightly by me. Previous owners I can not speak for.
Don't like the price? Make me a decent offer! No lowballs, please.
