    I just got it. DAMNNN. This baby is wicked gorgeous. The absolute coolest gadget. All I needed was something simple for business. It’s PERFECT 🤩 Thank You! I love design and technology but I bought it purely for vanity. Beauty Parlor. Of course after buying is when I watched reviews for this year were like “RUN!” So far it’s great. I just use it for simple tasks and music. It feels brand new. It looks extremely expensive. I love the keyboard. I had an ipad that was treated like a toy and broke. This doesn’t get touched and it fits perfectly in my ecosystem. I will definitely be back this experience was 🤩 awesome.

    The macbook itself is perfect. everything runs smoothly it works and i see no damages or anything it looks so brand new. one thing is that the charger is broke :/ it has a bad cut in it so o have to hold the charger to my macbook a certain way for it to charge which does get annoying a lot.

    I purchased a MacBook 12 inch 2015. The device had a bad battery and hinge. After opening the box I immediately requested a refund and shipped it off, the refund came quickly. And used that money to buy a better MacBook. Over the years I’ve used back market and have had no issues until this point, but they were quick to help and make everything right, which is why I will still do business with back market!

Everything you ever wanted to know about the MacBook Retina 12-inch (2015) - Core M - 8GB - SSD 256GB

  • 12Screen size (inches)

  • YesRetina

The MacBook features a 12" Retina display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 2304 x 1440 native resolution, which results in 226 pixels per inch (PPI). The display also has a 178° wide viewing angle. To deliver the total Retina experience on the MacBook, Apple redesigned the pixels to create a larger aperture, allowing more light to pass through. This enabled Apple to use LED backlighting that's 30 percent more energy efficient than the Retina display on any other Mac notebook, yet still achieves the same vivid level of brightness. Inside the MacBook, you'll find the fifth-generation Broadwell Intel Core M processor, which is designed with 14-nanometer process technology. This means that the chip is packed with more transistors than the previous generation, for higher density and more efficient performance. Since the Intel Core M only draws 5 watts of power and generates less heat than its predecessors, Apple is able to omit the fan. Instead, the logic board, which is 67% smaller than the one in the 11" MacBook Air, is seated on top of an anisotropic graphite sheet, which helps disperse any heat that is generated out, to the sides. No fan also means the MacBook will be virtually silent. Even with its miniaturized internal components, the new MacBook has an impressive capacity, featuring 8GB of fast, power-efficient 1600 MHz LPDDR3 onboard RAM and 256GB of PCIe-based flash storage.
