Let's dive into the details:
Screen: The 13.3-inch Retina display shows a few minor markings, speckles, scratches and slight keyboard staining that add a bit of character without distracting from the vibrant 2560 x 1600 resolution. There's slight discoloration around the edges on white backgrounds and a small crack on the left side of the LCD panel it's still fully usable for most activities, but we've noted it for full transparency. Overall, it performs well for secondhand viewing in South Africa. Rated 7/10.

No minor issues detected, making it a trustworthy pick for budget-conscious buyers.
