"I can't believe this is the same MacBook! I've had this laptop since 2014 - it's been with me through starting my business, countless late nights, travels, everything. I was heartbroken thinking I had to replace it. Kevin and his team completely rebuilt it. It's faster than when I bought it, the battery lasts all day, the screen is perfect, and it even looks brand new. I almost cried when I picked it up. For RM 1,850 vs RM 8,000 for a new one, this was a no-brainer. Plus, this MacBook has all the ports I need - HDMI, SD card, USB-A. The new ones don't. I'll use this for another 5 years easily. Best money I've ever spent!"
